LEICA 


THE CLASSIC 35MM STILL CAMERA 


PICK UP AN M-3 OR AN M-2 AT YOUR LEICA 
DEALER. You'll do a double-take as you react to 
the. famous Léica “feel.” It's a legend among 
3 generations of photographers... the magic of 
Leica design that makes it a “perfect fit’ for 
combined action of hand, brain and eye. And... 
as you try it, you'll see why its rangefinder is 
accepted as the fastest and most preciSe, even 
in lowest light levels where others fail. Yet, in 
just 10. seconds (with Visoflex II) the same 
Leica camera Decomes the most accurate 
eye-level reflex made. A test focus in every 
lens range will show you why Leica is the 
world’s most versatile 35mm camera for 
every kind of picture.:.from extreme close-up 
through tetephoto. 


AKE. 
LEICINA 


FULLY ELECTROMATIC 8MM MOVIE CAMERA 


PICK UP A NEW LHICINA. You'll discover that 
the Leica “feel” now has a double meaning as 
it takes its place in 8mm moviemaking. Exclu- 
sive 3-POINT RIGIDITY makes Leicina the first to 
overcome hand-held camera movement. (Without 
this steadiness, the finest features of any cam 
era can't produce needle-sharp movies.) The 
gadget-free exterior fits snugly in your palm; 
eyepiece below permits forehead brace above. 
Pushbutton away from the camera body in fold- 
down handle eliminates jarring when you press. 
It's always ready for action at the touch of a 
button. From the whispering whirr of its elec- 
tric motor drive to the discretely built-in auto- 
matic exposure control, Leicina is a new kind of 
movie camera that’s built today, for tomorrow.

Coffee Break 


WITH THE EDITORS 


THIS MONTH'S COVER «+ « ° 


Since we just couldn’t fit all 286 used 
cameras and 228 new ones on this 
month’s cover, we selected a few repre- 
sentative of the scope of our 7th 
Annual Buying Guide and shipped them 
off to the studio of Leonard Balish 
who arranged and photographed the 
still life. Little ones, big ones, from 
ultraminiature to 4 x 5 view, you'll 
find them all covered in detail in the 
Used Camera Buying Guide, page 66, 
and in the expanded and enlarged New 
Camera Guide, page 99, which has been 
organized in chart form for your con- 
venience in comparing different fea- 
tures. 


ONE MINUTE, SECOND ROUND « = ° 


In the August “Coffee Break’ we 
ran an item on an old camera that pro- 
duced finished prints in one minute, 
and we asked readers.if they could give 
us any further information. Although 
the camera dated back to World War I 
or so, we received a surprisingly large 
number of letters from readers who 
had seen, handled, owned, or even still 
owned the One-Minute Camera. 

The reader who still has a model is 
E. D. Gardner, of Devon, Montana. 
“They were somewhat optimistic in 
giving the weight as only 40 oz.,” he 
says, “as mine without developing 
liquid or tripod tips the scale at 74 
Ibs. It measures 14% x 7% x 10 in. Its 
construction is of wood, leatherette- 
covered and with nickel-finished trim. 

“The instruction booklet lists three 
models—A, B and C (mine is aC). All 
are similar except that models B and 
C were furnished with an extra snap-on 
‘group and landscape lens’ and were so 
constructed that a special attachment 
for making lapel button pictures could 
be had as an extra. 

“The standard lens is of the fixed- 
focus type with a range of 4 to 8 ft. 
The shutter is of two-leaf construc- 
tion and bulb operated.” 

Instead of describing the camera’s 
operation, Mr. Gardner sent us a pic- 
ture of the instruction sheet and 
diagram (right). He adds that, since 
it’s a one-minute camera, “it seemed 
proper to use a Polaroid to take this 
picture.” 

Orville M. Broadrick, of Manhattan, 
Iil., who owned one of the first models, 
and Ed Abbott, of Monticello, Ky., who 
handled one belonging to his brother 
in 1917-18, both fill in some details of 
the camera’s operation. Says Mr. 
Abbott: “There was a black lightproof 
sleeve attached to the back, with 
elastic to close the opening through 
which the hand and box of paper were 


inserted. A quantity of paper was then 
removed from the box and placed in a 
rack with the sensitized side facing 
the rear of the lens.”’ Taking the pro- 
cedure over from there, Mr. Broadrick 
says: “After a picture was exposed, 
the hand was inserted in the sleeve and 
the card next to the lens was removed 
and dropped through a slot in the 
bottom of the camera, into the tank 
containing the developer. After a 
minute the picture was removed and 
rinsed in water. As simple as that.” 

However, John B. Newlin, of Craw- 
fordsville,. Ind., didn’t find it at all 
simple. He was only 10 years old at 
the time—1917 or 18—but he’d spent 
the summer helping a local photogra- 
pher print postcard views and “I was, 
in short, an Authority.” The One- 
Minute Camera belonged to his cousin, 
who “had never been able to get a 
picture out of the thing, so she pulled 
it out for my advice. 

“My expert rating went down to zero 
almost instantly. Neither of the ac- 
companying bottles was clearly labeled

and instructions were sketchy. We 
certainly didn’t get anything like a 
usable picture out of it in a summer 
afternoon of experimenting. 

“A few years later I saw the thing 
again, but by then the only salvage- 
able part was the tripod. It was sturdy, 
of the old wood type, and not over five 
or six years ago I finally used it for 
kindling.” 

To end on a somewhat less gloomy 
note, let’s go back to Mr. Gardner, 
whose One-Minute Camera is still in

micro,

photography 


Even beyond its role as an art form, a news-gathering medium, 
a personal record of people and places—photography is a tool. 
And the Nikon F automatic reflex has become an invaluable aid 
to science, to industry, to education, and to countless other en- 
deavors which make up the fabric of progress in our modern 
society and technology. For it is in this realm that 

the Nikon F reveals its fullest capabilities. 

The Nikon F commands a complement of more 

than twenty interchangeable lenses upon which 

it can draw to meet the most critical and most 

unusual picture problems. And it is further imple- 

mented by an almost endless variety of accessory 

aids to fit it for photo micrography, macro and 

telescopic photography, and for every conceiv- 




















exemplifies the almost unlimited versatility of the Nikon F 


able close-up and copy requirement. The scope and versatility 
of the Nikon F automatic reflex are virtually unlimited. Its pic- 
ture capabilities extend from the infinitesimal to the infinite. 
A battery-operated motor drive can be used for completely auto- 
matic operation—in-hand or remote, wired or by radio control. 
Any impulse can be used to fire the motor-equipped 
Nikon F, and any phenomenon can be used to 
originate the impulse. Rapid sequences, time- 
lapse and motion studies, automatic surveillance, 
data documentation—are a few of the more obvi- 
ous applications. If you have a photographic prob- 
lem you consider especially challenging, let us 
show you how capably it can be handled with the 
Nikon F. For further details, write to Dept. MP12

he concludes, “if there was a present- 
day source of supply for the cards, as, 
with modification of the shutter, the 
old clunker would take fair pictures.” 


NEW WAVE « = ° 


Mr. Taka Amatzia, a heretofore un- 
known photographer, recently exhib- 
ited some of his work at the Lion’s 
Head coffee house in Greenwich Vil- 
lage. The Matziagrams, as_ their 
creator calls them, are the result of 
a revolutionary new process. Taka 
Amatzia’s manifesto declares: ‘The 
creative photographer is too often 


A staggering new art form? 


hampered in his work by purely tech- 
nical matters. Between him and his 
image come such things as cameras, 
lenses, shutters. . . . In order to reduce 
photography to its barest essentials 
. .. Taka Amatzia has invented his 
already postmortemistical Matzia- 
gram process... . He will not divulge 
the fine technique by which they were 
made for fear of antagonizing the 
U.S. Society of Photographic Scien- 
tists and Engineers and the Japanese 
Dragonyabahand Art, Marching and 
Chowder Society. He hopes to further 
perfect the Matziagram process to 
eliminate the use of photographic film 
and paper.” 


The Matziagrams, which looked like 
Rorschachian ink-blots, were priced at 
$100 each, and of the 15 on exhibition, 
we noticed several that resembled 
bulls and one which could only be a 
shaggy dog. As you have probably 
guessed by now, the whole exhibit was 
a joke—the Matziagrams were made 
by splattering chemicals on photo- 
graphic paper, and the mysterious 
Taka Amatzia is none other than 
MODERN’s mischievous Color Consult- 
ant, Norman Rothschild. 


THE NOSE TEST + « ° 


When our picture editor Pat Caul- 
field started to try out a certain new 
camera for ‘““Modern Tests,”’ she found 
that she was allergic to the pungent 
smell of its leather finish, developed 
a nose itch and headache, and had to 
pass the camera on to another editor 
who was unaffected. Since this incident 
(the first that Pat had experienced in 
the handling of many many cameras), 
MODERN’s editors have been carefully 
sniffing the leather on new camera 
bodies and carrying cases. So far no 
one else has suffered from the Caul- 
field Allergy, but we wonder whether 
we should extend our “Modern Tests” 
reports to include such comments as: 

“This camera’s faint scent of tur- 
pentine with lavender overtones ap- 
pealed to both men and women on 
MODERN’s staff”... or: 

“While the woodsmoke smell of this 
camera is extremely pleasant, candid 
photographers should be warned that 
it is strong enough to attract attention 
up to a distance of several yards.” 


ON HIS LAST LEGS «+ * + 


Associate editor Dave Miller bought 
a Davidson Mark III tripod, which has 
one removable leg for use as a unipod. 
An editorial assistant had a fractured 
foot. Dave gallantly removed the uni- 
pod and lent it to her as a walking 
stick. She lost the unipod. Dave is left 
with a bipod. He’s still trying to find 
some use for it.—-THE END

There’s a Hollywood Studio inside this Bolex 8mm Camera 


Every Hollywood effect is yours with the new 
Bolex D-8L (with film rewind) Compumatic, 
a studio within a camera. Fades, slow mo- 
tion, and now lap dissolves—imagination 
alone limits the variety. 

The D-8L with film rewind has seven dif- 
ferent speed settings, a variable shutter, a 
zoom viewfinder and settings for single- 
frame shots. A special rewind feature has 
been added to combine with the variable 


shutter for the most professional lap dissolves. 

The 8mm Bolex has an electric eye that 
measures light through the lens for the exact 
field the lens covers. This means perfect ex- 
posures for whatever lens is in the shooting 
position—normal, telephoto, wide-angle or 
zoom—and truer color. 

The D-8L (with film rewind) Compumatic 
with three-lens turret is priced from only 
$164.50 with Yvar 13mm f/1.9 f. f. lens. Ad-

Does it pay to modernize your old- 
model Polaroid Land camera? Here 
are some things you should know. 


Recently a 
reader wrote me 
to the effect that 
he had an old 
Model 95 Polar- 
oid camera (the 
first type to be 
marketed in 1948) 
and wanted to 
bring it up to date 
so it could do all 

the wonderful things that the latest 
models were capable of. He wanted to 
know if there was some repairman or 
service that could do this moderniza- 
tion job for him. 

My answer to him was that Polaroid 
Corp. does provide such a service, but 
that it would be a waste of money to 
attempt to modernize a Model 95. 

There is no reasonable way to con- 
vert or modernize any of the older 
models with manually operated expo- 
sure controls so it can match the per- 
formance of one of the fine new elec- 
tric eye models, such as the 900 or 850. 
Besides, the electric eye shutter is not 
the only big difference between the 
new and older models. The 900, for 
example, has a really outstanding 
combined range-viewfinder system 
which cannot be installed on any of 
the older models. And there are other 
items, too. 


Some desirable improvements 

Nevertheless, if you now have and 
use successfully a Polaroid Land cam- 
era of any type except Model 95, you 
can make some improvements at very 
moderate cost which will add immeas- 
urably to your convenience and picture 
taking pleasure. Not all these im- 
provements are possible with all the 
models, nor do I consider that all the 
conversions which Polaroid Corp. can 
do ought to be done. Therefore, I have 
selected a few which I’d recommend. 
In each case I'll list the models to 
which the modification applies. 

New type back door: Very worth- 
while. Frequently, the damp negative 
left in the camera after you remove a 
print will stick to the inside of the back 
door. Then a week later when you try 
to pull the tab to develop a picture 
nothing will budge. The new door has 
a number of small points on the inside 


which hold the film in proper position 
but can’t stick to the negative. Models 
95A, 95B, 100, 150, 700, 800, 110A, 
80A, $1.75; Model 110, $2.75. 

Locking cutter bar: This is one of 
the best things that ever happened to 
the Polaroid camera. The cutter bar 
locks automatically when it’s closed, 
so you don’t have to hold it down in 
order to tear off the paper film tab. 
To add this feature to your old camera 
it’s necessary to replace the entire 
outer back as a unit. Unfortunately, 
this can’t be done with the Model 110 
(and 700) because the rangefinder 
housing interferes. Models 95A, 95B, 
100, 150, 800, 110A (some 110A cam- 
eras already have this), $12.50. 

Drop-in loading for Model 110: Some 
of the early 110’s were equipped with 
spring clips into which you had to 
push the ends of the negative spool 
when loading film. In the conversion, 
the clips are removed and the film 
chamber is revamped so that the nega- 
tive roll fits into a simple chamber, as 
in all later models. This improvement 
is very important and well worth the 
price, $2.50. 


How to go about it 

There are at least two procedures 
you can follow in order to get your 
camera modified. One way is to visit 
your local camera store (a Polaroid 
dealer, no doubt) and arrange for the 
store to handle the entire transaction. 
If you’re a steady customer and the 
dealer likes your trade he’ll probably 
be willing to cooperate in this manner. 

Or, you can send the camera to 
Polaroid Corp. yourself. Before you 
start mailing it off I suggest that you 
first write to Customer Service, Polar- 
oid Corp., Cambridge 39, Mass., and 
explain what you want to do. Customer 
Service will send you detailed instruc- 
tions for packing and mailing. I believe 
that if you ask for one they will even 
send you an empty box specially de- 
signed for shipping Polaroid cameras, 
which will simplify your mailing 
problem considerably. Remember, 
write to Customer Service first. 

What about the old Model 95? Well, 
as I pointed out earlier, I don’t think 
it makes sense to spend money on such 
an old box in order to bring it up to 
date, particularly when used later 
model Polaroid cameras are available 
at very reasonable prices. For a guide 
to buying a used Polaroid camera, I 
suggest you look at my May 1961 
column in MODERN.—THE END

To get everything in the script, you have to get a Bolex 


Hollywood effects and award-winning qual- 
ity are no longer the personal possessions 
of “the professional”. . . 

For now you can get lap dissolves, fades, 
titles, speed-ups, animation, wide-angle vis- 
tas, telephoto close-ups, zooms—everything 
in the “script” —with a Bolex H-16 Rex and 
accessories. 

Your results are truly professional. You 
view and focus through the shooting lens 


for uninterrupted viewing, exact framing, 
accurate focusing. Parallax is ended forever! 

Then there’s Bolex’s new variable shut- 
ter. It gives you more control over exposure, 
sharpens fast-action subjects, and blurs dis- 
tracting backgrounds. It puts fades at your 
fingertips, makes lap dissolves smooth and 
easy. (For automatic fades and perfect lap 
dissolves, try a Bolex Rexofader. It times 
fades for pre-set number of frames.) 


With all its professional features, Bolex’s 
H-16 Rex is only $450 with a superb Lytar 
F/1.8 lens. Bolex accessories are also mod- 
erately priced—the Rexofader, for example, 
is just $37.50. For detailed literature write 
Dept.BMP12 or see your Bolex dealer for 
complete information.

WHEN, WHERE & HOW T0 
CHECK A USED CAMERA 


THE STORE CHECKS 


A used camera’s general overall appearance may indicate much about its 
hidden or disguised flaws. Body dents which indicate that the camera had been 
dropped or severely jarred may mean that the lens elements could have been 
jarred loose, or that the camera’s rangefinder, or in the case of reflexes, its 
mirror, is out of alignment. Also look for leather coverings which are obviously 
repainted to camouflage dents. If you're satisfied with overall appearance, then 
check the following: 












(A) LENS: Remove it, otherwise set camera shutter on B or T and open shutter 
and camera back. Check lens for loose or cracked elements, peeled off coat- 
ing dirty interior and rusty, bent or faulty diaphragm. Place lens at its closest 
focusing distance and rock it in its mount—look for excessive play. 















(B) VIEWING AND FOCUSING: Examine entire viewing system for cleanliness. 
if rangefinder, make sure images coincide both horizontally and vertically. If 
reflex, check ground glass in low light for acceptable overall viewing and focus- 
ing brightness. Focus on object at infinity (a distant building outside store), 
and see if focus arrow aligns properly with infinity mark. 














(C) SHUTTER: Operate at all shutter speeds listening for any unusual noises 
and evidence of sticking. Pay special attention to speeds slower than 1/15 
second. 











(D) INTERIOR: Look for rust, and excessive scratches—pay particular atten- 
tion to the pressure plate. The sprockets and film guide should not be rough. 
Check for loose parts and signs of do-it-yourself tampering, such as worn screw 
heads, bent parts, etc. If the camera has a cloth focal-plane shutter, aim the 
lens at a light source and look for pin holes in the shutter when in the cocked 
and released positions. 














(E) MOVING PARTS: Operate all moving parts to see if they are neither too 
stiff (causing excessive wear) or too loose (causing inaccurate alignment). Run 
an unwanted roll of film through the camera to make sure that the film trans- 
port, frame counter and rewind mechanisms are functioning properly. 


TESTS TO MAKE AT HOME 


If results of the store checks are satisfactory, there’s a good chance that 
the camera is in good working order. However, since there is a possibility that 
it’s not, ask the dealer for a trial period, and then perform the following prac- 
tical tests at home. For these tests, use a film such as Panatomic X or Plus X 
Pan, tripod and cable release. Use a reliable exposure meter to determine read- 
ings. For evaluation purposes, either make 10X enlargements (with a known 
fine quality enlarger and lens) or examine the negatives with a 10X to 20X 
magnifier. 


(A) SHARPNESS AND COVERAGE: Photograph a building in sunlight from more 
than 100 ft. away with the lens focused at infinity. If you’re testing a lens longer 
than 60mm, be sure that you’re at least 150 ft. from the subject. Make one 
exposure at widest aperture (using the appropriate shutter speed), and another 
three stops smaller (adjust shutter accordingly). The first exposure should be 
at least satisfactorily sharp in the center, the second should be sharp overall. 
Check the viewfinder image with the film image; the latter may show more than 
the former, but it should not show less. 
























(B) FOCUS: Make a close-up portrait of a person, using the widest lens opening 
and shooting from 31,4 ft. or less. Focus carefully on the subject's eyes. In the 
resulting negative or print the eyes should be sharp. If they’re not, but the ears 
or nose is, the lens may not be properly aligned with the camera or the focusing 
mechanism. 








(C) SHUTTER: Individual shutter speeds need not be accurate. In fact only in 
rare cases are they. However, it is more important that the relation between 
the speeds be consistent. To check for speed consistency, photograph a clear 
sky at each shutter speed (adjusting the aperture to keep camera exposure 
constant). All the resulting negatives (here it’s not as necessary to make prints) 
should have equal density. The density within the frame should also be con- 
sistent. A faulty leaf shutter will produce decreased density toward the edges 
of the negative, whereas a faulty focal-plane shutter will produce decreased 
density across the frame or will expose only part or none of the frame.

ULTRA 
MINIATURE 


by JOSEPH D. COOPER 


Tripods: luxury or necessity? Test 
your own steadiness to determine 
when you need one. 


Tripods for ul- 
traminiature ctam- 
eras? Seems in- 
congruous, 
doesn’t it—for a 
tiny pocketable 
instrument ? 

Odd as it may 
seem, the hazards 
of camera shake 
are greater 
with ultraminia- 

ture cameras than with larger cam- 
eras. Since the ultraminiatures are so 
small and light, they are susceptible 
to any outside force, including wind, 
movements of the floor or ground 
transmitted through the body, breath- 
ing, body sway and the pressure of 
your finger when you make the expo- 
sure. And, any unsharpness is more 
apparent in prints from ultraminia- 
ture, since the small negatives usually 
undergo a greater degree of enlarge- 
ment than is usual with 35mm and the 
larger film sizes. 

With larger cameras, the general 
rule is that 1/25 or 1/30 sec. is the 
very slowest hand-held exposure which 
should be used. These shutter speeds 
may also be used for hand-held expo- 
sures with ultraminiature cameras but 
even more care must be taken to pre- 
vent movement during exposure. Just 
as a check on this, listen carefully to 
the shutter action at 1/25 or 1/30. You 
can hear a double clicking sound as 
the shutter opens and as it closes. The 
interval between is a relatively long 
one during which any movement can 
spoil your picture. 


Make a test 


I suggest that you make your own 
test to find that shutter speed at which 
you can safely make a hand-held ex- 
posure. With the camera mounted on 
a tripod or other solid support, make 
an exposure at 1/25 or 1/30 sec. Then, 
continue using the higher speeds one 
by one in sequence, adjusting aperture 
accordingly. Photograph the same sub- 
ject from the same distance hand-hold- 
ing the camera, again making a series 
starting with 1/25 (or 1/30) and con- 
tinuing to the highest speed on your 
camera. Hold the camera as steadily 
as possible while you squeeze the shut- 
ter gently at the moment of exposure. 

After you develop your film, use the 
pictures taken with the tripod as your

ULTRAMINIATURE

basis of comparison. The slowest speed 
at which there is no observable differ- 
ence in the sharpness is the fastest 
speed that you should try to hand hold. 
Thereafter, you will know your own 
bottom limit for a hand-held exposure. 
At slower speeds, you should use a tri- 
pod or other solid support if you want 
the best results. 

Now, as to tripods: for a small cam- 
era, you really need a sturdier suppert 
than for a heavy camera. The tiny 
ultraminiature just does not have 
enough weight to force the tripod to 
hold steadily to the ground. Since, obvi- 
ously, you don’t want to bother carry- 
ing a tripod many times larger and 
heavier than your camera, the best so- 
lution is to use one of the small tripods 
which are meant to be placed on top 
of a table or against a wall or other 
solid surface. Even though these tri- 
pods are small and light, they are 
fairly stable because they have a low 
center of gravity. 

The highly portable collapsible tri- 
pods—the ones that telescope down to 
about 10 inches or thereabouts—are 
not particularly stable when fully ex- 
tended. But if they are used without 
extending the legs, they do provide a 
sturdy support, and can be used on top 
of a table, desk, etc. as mentioned 
above. There is one tripod made espe- 
cially for ultraminiature work which 
is meant to be used in the same way: 
the Minox pocket tripod. Incidentally, 
with the swivel mount for the top of 
the tripod, you can hold the camera 
agai’ 3t supports that are not perfectly 
flat. You can even hold it against your 
chest because this makes it part of 
body, thereby giving you more support 
than when the camera is held extended 
in your hands, against your forehead 
or cheekbone. Some collapsible tripods 
that are suitable for ultraminiature 
work are, the Accura, the Kalimar 
and the Alpex, in addition to the Minox 
pocket tripod. 

All of the ultraminiature cameras 
now on the market in this country have 
tripod sockets with the exception of 
the Minolta-16 (II) and the Minox. 
For these two cameras, the manufac- 
turers furnish special tripod clamps 
which enable you to mount the cam- 
eras on tripods and also to use cable 
releases when making slow exposures. 
The GaMi-16 has a continental tripod 
thread and therefore you will need to 
use a reducing adapter or bushing.

LETTERS 


TO THE EDITOR 


Single-Minded Single-Framers 

I enjoyed reading your article on 
35mm single-frame photography (June 
1961). However, Mr. Meyers neglected 
to mention an important use of the 
single-frame cameras, their ability to 
produce '35mm filmstrips. Filmstrips 
are the most widely used audio-visual 
aids in the classroom. Teachers, with 
a single-frame camera, can produce 
their own filmstrips quickly, inexpen- 
sively, and tailor-made to their partic- 
ular teaching requirements. 
Branford, Conn. Stuart Roe 








I have held the conviction, quietly, 
for nearly 20 years that (based on my 
own experience with the wonderful 
Univex Mercury 1 with Wollensak 
35mm f/2.7 lens) single-frame 35 was 
quite adequate for almost anything but 
glamour and architecture. My camera 
has a companion enlarger, which uses 
the lens out of the camera and is espe- 


cially designed for single-frame en- 
larging. It’s a nice double-condenser 
precision enlarger that I bought new 
for $25. I have rapid wind, 1/1000 down 
to 1/20 with B and T, close-ups to 
15 in., built-in extinction-type exposure 
meter that is just uncanny. Total in- 
vestment in 1941: less than $75! 
Coupled rangefinder is still available 
and you can usually pick up a Mercury 
in a used camera store.

Bloomfield, Iowa Flavel Shurtleff III 


It was through the former 35mm 
camera called Univex, manufactured 
by the Universal Camera Corp., that 
I became a member of the family of 
35mm photographers. I believe that 
there is a good place for the single- 
frame camera because it can still give 
what the early 35mm double-frame 
cameras gave, namely, ease in han- 
dling. They were not heavy like the 
presert makes of 35mm cameras. Also, 
in 1959: and 1940 I found that ‘if I 
planned to make 11 x 14-in. prints I 
made sure that I had thin negatives, 
for this way I had practically elimi- 
nated the grain. I still have some of 
these. Inasmuch as most homes being 
built today do not offer unusually large 
living rooms, the single-frame color 
slide can easily produce a good picture 
on any of the home size screens.

good laugh, and also some sadness, 
as I see your correspondent is badly 
mistaken about the state of the Span- 
ish photographic industry. 

To begin with, there are four, not 
three, brands of sensitized material: 
Infonal, Mafe, Negtor, and Valca 
(Valea, not Vafca). Among their 
products are paper, ortho and panchro 
roll film, plates, sheet film, color neg- 
ative films, and positive color paper. 

There are at least four makes of 
electronic flashes: Eos, Exacta, Combi- 
Reporter, and Pic. (The two latter 
made partially with German parts.) 

We also make enlargers, cameras 
(chiefly cheap, popular models), 
binoculars and microscopes (in Ma- 
drid, under contract with Zeiss Ikon 
A.G.), movie and slide projectors. 
Barcelona, Spain Rafael Navarro Ruiz 


I would like to add a little about 
photography in Spain. 

The only films made exclusively in 
Spain under Spanish formula are, as 
you say, Infonal, Mafe, and Valca. 
However, Mafe does not make any 
35mm, except under the name of 
Perutz. The same goes for Infonal 
(Industrias Fotoquimicas Nacionales, 
S.A.), leaving Valca holding the bag, 
and it’s a rather poor one at that. The 
film is very fast (21-23 DIN, 100-160 
ASA), has a high inherent fog which 
makes for a rather low-contrast film. 
The overall grain in D-76 (very popular 


in Spain) is about like the old Plus-X. 
Right now I’m running some tests on 
Mafe’s Perutz to see how it compares 
with American films. I will use a 
modified D-25 formula which has 
given me excellent results with Plus- 
X Pan at up to 1200 ASA practically 
without grain at 25X enlargement. 
Agfa will be manufactured shortly 
here by Valca. Its price will then be 
half what it is now. By the way, film 
in Spain is sold without cassette in a 
light-tight tube. You literally roll your 
own. The foreign films are 45 pesetas 
or about 76 cents for 36 exposures. 
With cassette (supplied by your local 
photo shop) the price is 93 cents. 
That’s still quite a bit under stateside 
prices for the same Plus-X Pan, etc. 
Perutz (made here) and Agfa (when 
it is made here) will cost only 38 cents 
for 36-exposure less cassettes. Devel- 
oping is usually done with D-76 and 
costs about 11 cents a roll. Copies are 
3% cents each for 2%x4% in. Enlarg- 
ing paper runs about $4.80 a hundred 
(list) for 8x10 and is excellent. 
Malaga, Spain Rolfe F. Schell 


Battery Inspection 

It is very important to use the speci- 
fied mercury battery in a CdS meter 
(Electric Eye Systems, July, p. 92). 
The RM625R cell is manufactured as a 
reference cell, and the voltage is quite 
accurate, and maintains a close order 
of accuracy through its life. Should a 


21 


user substitute an RM625H, a hearing 
aid battery, the higher initial voltage 
would make the meter read high. Fur- 
thermore, the “‘H” suffix cell does not 
develop a relatively constant voltage 
during its life—hence the accuracy of 
the meter would suffer.

TECHNIQUES 
OMORROW 


by BENNETT SHERMAN 


A brand-new and amazing concept 
in lighting: the crystal-powered 
flash unit. 


In view of the 
many handy port- 
able electronic 
flash units being 
made today, we 
often wonder why 
the old-fashioned 
wire-filled flash- 
bulbs are still 
popular. One rea- 
son is that the 

; portable units are 
relatively heavy, and in most cases do 
not give as much light as the compact, 
conventional type flashguns. Many of 





these conventional guns weigh just a 
few ounces and can be carried in your 
pocket. However, the very small bat- 
tery-operated flashguns have some in- 
conveniences. If you’ve had one of the 
little folding guns around the house 
for a while, you’ve probably noticed 
that after a few months the battery 
runs down, loses its power to fire the 
bulb, and sometimes gums up the flash- 
gun with a jelly-like material which 
leaks out of the battery. One of the 
ways that small flashgun manufac- 
turers have tried to lengthen the life 
of the small batteries has been the de- 
velopment of the BC gun. In this type, 
a higner-voltage battery charges up 
a small radio-type condenser which, 
when the gun is fired, pulses a surge 
of electricity through the bulb, caus- 
ing it to light up. Recently, Eastman 


Kodak built a small flashgun with a 
tiny generator to charge up the con- 
denser. Before you take a picture, you 
spin a wheel which generates the re- 
quired electric current to the condenser 
to fire the flashbulb. All of these meth- 
ods have made the small flashgun more 
useful for the casual shooter. 

In February of this year, Dr. Guy 
Suits of the General Electric Research 
Labs in Schenectady, N. Y. came up 
with an entirely different way of get- 
ting the pulse of electric current to 
fire the bulb. He received a patent for 
the idea at that time. Basically, his 
method uses a well-known phenomenon 
of certain crystal materials, such as 
quartz, rochelle salt, and barium 
titanate, a new and important mate- 
rial in electronics. If you clamp a small 
crystal of one of these materials and 
fix wires to two sides, then bend or 
strike the crystal, a small electric cur- 
rent will flow through the wires. This 
is how the crystal pick-ups for phono- 
graphs work. The needle imparts vi- 
brations from the record groove to the 
crystal, which in turn generates an 
electric current which is then ampli- 
fied and put into the speaker, from 
which we hear the sounds. The crystals 
do not generate much electrical cur- 
rent when used in the phonograph. 
However, the flashbulb does need a 
fair-sized jolt to start the bundle of 
magnesium or zirconium wire burning. 
We therefore might expect that the

crystal generator would not be of any 
use in making a flashgun. Dr. Suits 
found that barium titanate, when hit 
with a small but sharp blow, produces 
a high voltage pulse which could be 
used to fire a bulb. One of the problems 
he had to solve was how to do it. 


The diagram below shows how Dr. 
Suits set up the scheme. The crystal 





When shutter cocking lever (A) is set, 
hammer (B) is raised until caught by 
catch lever (C). Hammer spring (D) 
is then under tension. When shutter 
release (E) is pressed, shutter moves 
trip-lever (F), allows catch lever to 
move back, releasing hammer. Hammer 
strikes crystal (G) and electric pulse 
is generated. Pulse travels along wires 


(H) to flashbulb (L) and ignites it. 


with its small wires attached is fas- 
tened down, and a small hammer is 
poised above it. The hammer is pow- 
ered by a spring. When it is lifted, the 
spring is in tension, and the hammer 
is caught on its edge by a catch lever. 
When the camera shutter mechanism 
pulls the catch lever back, the hammer 
comes down and strikes thecrystal. The 
generated electrical current goes di- 
rectly to the flashbulb without any fur- 
ther action. When the shutter is cocked 
for the next exposure, the hammer is 
again lifted and caught by the lever. 

Among several advantages he cites 
for this system is that the crystal gen- 
erates a high-voltage pulse of elec- 
tricity which tends to jump across poor 
lamp-base contacts more readily than 
does the low voltage used in battery 
units. He also points out that this sys- 
tem can readily be built right into a 
shutter, or at least designed in when 
the shutter is originally engineered. 
This eliminates the need for a flashgun 
to have anything more than a lamp 
socket and a reflector. Imagine how 
compact this would be! 

There’s no battery to lose power or 
gum up the inside of the gun; and 
there’s less trouble with lamp-socket 
contacts. I can see, however, a few 
minor problems. 

First, the barium titanate crystal 
is pretty fragile, and the adjustment 
of the hammer must be just right. 
If after a while the hammer surface 


23 


should wear down, or the adjustment 
go out, the crystal might crack under 
the blow. To replace it might require 
opening up the shutter. This isn’t the 
same as opening the back of the flash- 
gun and throwing away the weak bat- 
tery. Another problem may arise in 
the wire leads attached to the crystal. 
Under the pounding of the hammer, 
these leads might break away from the 
crystal, cutting off the electrical pulse 
from the bulb circuit. Finally, I’ve 
looked inside the modern Compur and 
many other between-the-lens shutters. 
I doubt if there is much room for any- 
thing more. Getting this device to fit 
inside will be a problem.—THE END

New 
Photo Books 


NATURE PHOTOGRAPHY, by Edna Ben- 
nett, 127 pages. Universal Photo Books, 
$1.95* 

This book should serve as an intro- 
duction to any photographer who has 
longed to photograph nature subjects 
—whether landscapes, animal or bird 
life, flowers or fish. 

First, the author plainly shows that 
nature shooting is not an esoteric 
branch of photography that requires 
unusual skills or highly specialized 
equipment. Second, and perhaps most 
important, the book provides many 
ideas of what to shoot and where. 

We found it lacking in some minor 
details. Perhaps the author could have 
included more material on the use of 
close-up attachments—lenses and ex- 
tension tubes. Also, in one section on 
shooting fish in home aquariums, we 
thought some warning should have 
been given about using photofloods for 
too long a period. Fish tanks must be 
kept at a constant temperature to in- 
sure the health of the tropical species, 
and photofloods tend to overheat the 


water within just a very few minutes. 

In one respect, at least, the photo- 
graphs are somewhat different from 
those in other nature books. Several of 
them relate people to nature—an un- 
usual approach.—M.A.M. 


PRESS PHOTOGRAPHY, by Robert B. 
Rhode and Floyd H. McCall, 244 pages. 
The Macmillan Co., $6* 

You can not overestimate the im- 
portance of this book. It is the press 
photography book for would-be or 
present press photographers. Rhode, 
associate professor of Journalism at 
the University of Colorado, and McCall, 
chief photographer of the Denver Post, 
have written a truly brilliant, com- 
plete, entertaining, highly instructive 
manual. 

There are 14 chapters. The first gives 
a succinct history of photography from 
the newspaper photojournalist’s point 
of view. The second examines the 
cameras in use today—the 4 x 5 
Graphic, its assets and limitations, the 
2% x 2% twin- and single-lens reflex 


and the 35mm camera which are 
rapidly taking over the jobs once the 
exclusive domain of the larger camera. 
The authors make liberal use of ex- 
plicit examples of both newspapers and 
news services which were faced with 
bringing their techniques up to date, 
telling why and how they chose 
specific types of cameras to do it. 

In “The Negative Story” the prob- 
lems of film selection, plus high-speed 
and normal processing, are fully de- 
scribed and preceded by a highly lucid 
description of the physical structure 
of the film and what happens to it 
chemically during processing. “Posi- 
tive Prints” covers materials (includ- 
ing variable contrast paper), retouch- 
ing, developer selection, distortion con- 
trol as well as the problems introduced 
by the mechanical needs of news- 
paper reproduction. 

“Optics for the Press Photographer” 
highlights the proper lenses for 4 x 5, 
2% x 2%, 35mm tele lenses, wide- 
angle lenses, depth of field, apparent 
distortion, image size. Additional chap- 
ters just as thoroughly cover: lighting, 
tackling the assignment, sports photog- 
raphy, woman’s page photography, the 
picture story, the news photographer 
and the law, and careers. 

One chapter, “The News in Color,” 
gives complete information on de- 
veloping High Speed Ektachrome as a 
negative material, a procedure which 
Kodak has been carefully keeping

under wraps. It’s not under wraps any 
longer. The authors illustrate the tech- 
nique step by step and in color. 

The book is certainly not all nuts and 
bolts. The authors discuss the psy- 
chological problems of the news 
photographer and the approach to var- 
ious types of assignments, including 
what it’s morally proper to fake and 
what it isn’t. 

Illustrations throughout the book 
avoid the cornball approach on the one 
hand and stay far from the pseudo- 
artistic on the other. They, like the 
text, represent the solid, intelligent 
new frontier in newspaper photog- 
raphy.—H.k. 


THE NUDE by Andre de Dienes, 146 
pages, 91 photographs. The Bodley 
Head, London, $4.95* 

The photographer whose name for 
countless years has been connected 
with excellent photographs of the nude 
has turned out an assortment of vul- 
gar, trollopy parodies on his earlier 
work. It is hard to take seriously a 
nude leaning precariously on a stack 
of old books while an old sailing boat 
model topped with a human skull and 
surrounded by what looks like an as- 
sortment of femur bones occupies the 
background. Have you ever seen a 
torrid Latin-type snaking out at you 
from a lush tropical foliage, playing 
(or at least holding clumsily) a giant 
guitar? How about a heavily endowed 


young lady with head thrown back 
clutching a strand of barbed wire? De 
Dienes succeeds in obtaining passable 
artistic results only when he harks 
back to the compositions of earlier 
works—girls lying on the beach with 
one foot poised in mid-air while the 
surf encompasses them, girls racing 
down sand dunes, etc. 

There is also a section of composite 
pictures where nudes are sandwiched 
in printing against sunsets, water, 
beaches, brick walls, etc. While they 
are humorous, a ham on rye would be 
more aesthetic than the entire lot com- 
bined. In an unusual departure, de 
Dienes has furnished technical data 
with all his pictures as well as a num- 
ber of choice phrases explaining how 
exquisite the model or the picture is. 

If the subjects represent the best of 
figure models available to de Dienes, 
the decline and fall of the West is at 
hand.—H.K. 


L. J. M. DAGUERRE, THE WORLD'S FIRST 
PHOTOGRAPHER, by Helmut and Alison 
Gernsheim, 216 pages, 117 illustrations. 
The World Publishing Co., $7.50* 


Photography must truly be a crea- 
tive art. How could any field that 
wasn’t produce so many flamboyant, 
brilliantly technical but tasteful 
wizards? Of the wizards none was 
more interesting, more controversial, 
more exciting than the original P. T. 
Barnum of photography himself, the 


25 


inventor Louis Jacques Mande Dag- 
uerre, architect, scenic designer, 
painter and photographer. The Gern- 
sheims, two of the very finest photo- 
graphic historians, brilliantly recreate 
the man, the times and the daguerreo- 
typists who used his technique in what 
is certainly the definitive work on the 
man. But don’t let the word “defini- 
tive” frighten you. The text is bouncy, 
entrancing and most difficult to put 
down even if you don’t know an f/stop 
from a hole in the wall. 

The well-produced illustrational in- 
serts are a joy, showing daguerreo- 
types of the inventor, his associates, 
his subjects and those of his followers. 
Biting lithographic cartoons by Dau- 
mier and others concerning the 
daguerreotypists are included as well 
as a goodly array of Daguerre’s litho- 
graphs, drawings and paintings which 
he used in his pre-photographic 
Dioramas. The Diorama was an indoor 
scenic presentation in which spectacu- 
lar historical or geographic scenes 
cleverly painted and lit produced an 
illusion of reality. Plans showing the 
working of the Diorama are included 
by the Gernsheims. 

One particular quote from the book 
amused us. At the end of a highly in- 
formative passage stating just how a 
subject should pose, what color back- 
ground is needed for best technical and 
artistic effects, two well-known da-

A step forward in standardization? 
—The GOST goes East on the 
double—Indian Nikons—Whispers 
of new equipment to come. 


Despite the obvious steps to stand- 
ardize on leaf shutter types (Compur, 
Prontor, Copal, Seikosha, Citizen, 
etc.), camera manufacturers continue 
to make their own components for 
film winding, shutter cocking and 
viewfinding in their own factories. The 
headaches that such a system causes 
repairmen can well be imagined. Pur- 
chasers get it in the neck too. For 
repairs, a camera must be returned 
directly to the makers or distributors 
or authorized repair shops. Often the 
user doesn’t get his precious camera 
back for two weeks, a month or even 
longer. If present plans by Kowa Op- 
tical Co. come to fruition, things may 
change markedly. 

The Kowa plan is this: Kowa would 


supply 7 major standardized camera 
parts for 35mm rangefinder and single- 
lens reflex cameras—shutter unit, 
winding unit, rewinding unit, range- 
finder unit, lens unit, exposure counter 
unit and mirror box unit containing 
pentaprism and focusing screen. A 
camera maker could buy as many of 
these units as he wished and add other 
parts to make up his own special cam- 
era. Results: lower costs of la' -, 
parts—and it’s hoped—lower cost of 
camera. The big advantage however 
for the camera owner will be simplicity 
of repair. A Kowa spokesman sug- 
gested that it might even be possible 
to have major repairs carried out right 
at the camera store with no need to 
send the camera to a special repair 
agency. 

Some trial units have already been 
made but experts felt that these units 
were overly large and would tend to 
make the cameras in which they fit 
far too bulky. At present Kowa is em- 
barking on a 1% year research and 
development plan to perfect the idea. 

Precisely how such standardized 
parts may limit camera manufac- 
turers wishing to make camera A big- 
ger, better and different from camera 
B is a matter of concern. Will cameras 
begin to be carbon copies of each other 
with only some changed chrome? 
There is such a thing as carrying 
standardization to the point where 
individuality is lost completely. 


Russian ratings 

We have ASA indexes, the British 
have BSI, the Germans DIN, and the 
Russians have GOFT or GOST—de- 
pending on how you translate your 
Russian these days. The speed crite- 
rion of the Gost system is based on 
the minimum exposure necessary to 
produce a density of 0.2 above fog level. 
Since this differs from our method of 
establishing the rating of black-and- 
white films, the Gost ratings are not 
really directly comparable. However, 
all Gost numbers are approximately 
double the ASA. Kodak Tri-X Pan with 
an ASA index of 400 would be about 
800 Gost. 

Well you didn’t expect the Russian 
system to have smaller numbers than 
the ASA, did you? 


Trouble with KII? 

There is a big discussion going on 
about making duplicate transparen- 
cies of Kodachrome II still shots and 
duplicates of KII movies. Independent 
labs say that the material presently 
used for duplicating regular Koda- 
chrome just won’t work with KII. 


Indian Nikons? 

Under a recent agreement between 
Nippon Kogaku and the Indian Gov- 
ernment, some Nikon products will 
commence te be made in India. 

In the primary stages, Nikon will 
lend supervising technicians to the

Indian owned factory. Royalties will 
be paid to Nikon on each camera. At 
first only Nikkorex 35mm reflexes will 
be assembled from Japanese parts. 
Within three years the entire camera 
may be produced in India. Other Nikon 
products will be made at a later date. 
About 1,000 cameras per month is the 
initial goal. These will be for Indian 
consumption only. 


Fixed lens interchangeability 


Those photographers owning 35mm 
cameras having permanently fixed 
lenses may sometime in the future 
have recourse to an interchangeable 
lens system with through-the-lens fo- 
cusing. In a recent British patent

lens unit of the reflex housing. 


Franke & Heidecke, makers of the 
Rolleifiex, describe a reflex housing 
with interchangeable lenses which will 
fit over the front of the camera’s per- 
manent lens. A double cable release 
mechanism would correlate the move- 
ment of the mirror in the reflex hous- 
ing with the camera shutter release. 
It looks clumsy but .. .?

The sequence of Balda 

The general purpose 35mm cameras 
that can be fitted with a motor drive 
are few and far between. Add the 
Balda line to the list. We wondered 
why the makers began introducing 
camera models with a bottom winding 
key rather than a traditional top rapid 
wind knob or lever. The reason is a 
battery-powered electric drive called 
the Servomat, which fits the camera 
bottom snugly. It can fire and wind 
the camera up to 25 pictures per min- 
ute. Over 500 shots can be made on one 
set of batteries. The unit can be set 
off by a remote wired switch, a photo- 
cell, a control on the camera or by 
radio. For the present, one model will 
make its appearance for the Super 
Baldamatic camera. Servomat models 
and adapters for other Balda cameras 
(with bottom winding keys) will make 
their appearance in due course.—H.K.

CLUBS 


by MABEL SCACHERI 





for the holiday season. 


To have, 


next year. And why not? 


The probable reason is that a party 
of this kind taxes the energy and in- 
volves an enormous amount of time on 
the part of a few members. Also, there 
are so many Christmas parties, at the 
office, among various groups, in the 
last two weeks of December that I 
should think, if a camera club wants 
to have a special event during the 
Christmas season, it might take some 


other form. 


Load up several cars and drive 
around town one evening, to photo- 
graph outdoor trees at night. Or have 
a snow-picture field trip the weekend 
before Christmas, in white-Christmas 
parts of the country. Or, if you are a 
tuneful group, you might revive the old 
custom of singing Christmas carols in 


the street at night. 


Group projects aren’t favored 


The camera fan, however, is not only 
conventional in his behavior, he is also 
a lone wolf in his picture-shooting. 
Take part in a club project? Naah. 
One December evening I was visiting 
the meeting of a movie club, and a 
stranger asked for a few minutes to 
address the club. He said that a church 
in his town—over in New Jersey it was 
-—would be putting on an elaborate 
Christmas pageant. How many club 
members would like to come over and 
make a movie of it? Not one hand 


was raised to volunteer. 


A bunch of heathen, the stranger 


(Continued on page 48) 


Here’s how to get out of the Christ- 
mas Party rut: new club projects 


have not, a Christ- 
mas party is an 
annual problem 
for most camera 
clubs. I’ve at- 
tended a number 
of rather elabo- 
rate affairs which 
must have in- 
volved a lot of 
work for the com- 
mittee in charge. There were games 
and grab bags and trays of canapes, 
ice-cream and cake, and mildly spiked 
punch. Everybody had a fine time—but 
the club never repeated the party the

another great 24-square, automatic reflex 
new model S is priced at $399.50 with 75mm Auto-Nikkor f2.8 lens 


Anyone familiar with the current Bronica Deluxe would 
find it hard to believe that Bronica could produce a sec- 
ond model which could ‘hold its own’ with the first. Yet, 
here it is—the new Bronica S now being featured alongside 
the Bronica Deluxe—$90 lower in price, offering the same 
optics and most of the exclusive features which have dis- 
tinguished the Bronica Deluxe reflex from all others. 
AUTOMATIC MIRROR AND AUTOMATIC DIAPHRAGM elimi- 
nate blackout and dimming of finder image. 
DEPTH-OF-FIELD PREVIEWER lets you observe depth-of-field 
at ‘taking’ aperture, or select aperture for desired depth. 
WINDING CRANK automatically advances film for each 
exposure and winds shutter simultaneously. Folds flush. 
Focusing knob is separate, and operates independently. 


INTERCHANGEABLE BACK WITH AUTOMATIC ‘FILMINDER 
FEATURE prevents advancing unexposed film. Also pre- 
vents removal of darkslide with film-back off camera. 
AUTOMATIC FILM TENSION SYSTEM holds film taut and 
flat for exposure. Relaxes when film is advanced. 
INTERCHANGEABLE NIKKOR LENSES for Bronica S range 
from 50mm wide angle to 500mm super telephoto. 
FOCAL PLANE SHUTTER operates at any speed from | sec- 
ond to 1/1000th. FP synch at all speeds, X at 1/50th. 


See the new Bronica S at your dealer today! Better still, 
see both—the Bronica S at $399.50 and the Bronica Deluxe 
at $489.50, each with 75mm f2.8 Auto-Nikkor lens, For 
further details, write to Dept. MP-12.

COLOR 


BY NORMAN ROTHSCHILD 


Impressed with the features of 
Kodachrome II? Don’t neglect the 
advantages of other transparency 
films on the market. 


Kodachrome II’s 
extremely high 
resolution, fine 
grain and expo- 
sure index of 25 
mark it as unsur- 
passed by any 
color film of any 
speed. But don’t 
be blinded by the 
seemingly incom- 
parable features of KII and start using 
it exclusively. Anscochrome and Ekta- 
chrome offer advantages that the pho- 
tographer cannot afford to overlook. 
Here are some examples. 

Increased speed: With some films you 
can raise the ASA rating and push your 
film to even greater speed, provided 
you make the necessary corresponding 
changes in development. But with KII 
you are limited to its given rating of 
E.I. 25 because processors are not yet 
able to give it special processing. How- 
ever, Anscochrome and Ektachrome 
can safely be rated at twice their given 
speeds of 32 and be processed accord- 
ingly. Anscochrome can even be 
pushed as high as 125, though with 
some loss of image quality. If exposed 
at higher than normal indexes, Ansco- 
chrome and Ektachrome can be spe- 
cially processed by almost any custom 
finisher, or you can do it yourself in 
your own darkroom. Most custom 
finishers do not charge extra for push- 
ing film one stop. 





The economic angle 


If speed is of such importance why 
not use a faster film? One good reason 
—slower films cost less money. For 
$10.75 you can buy an Ansco Easy 
Loader and enough film to give you 8 
rolls of 20 exposures each. By buying 
your film in bulk and loading it your- 
self, you can save 30%. (See “Modern 
Color,’”’ October 1960 for more about 
film economy. ) 

Besides saving money, you will find 
that you can experiment with Ansco-

If you give 


Poarcino® 





If you’re not getting all the pictures 
you’d like to have, here’s a way to get them. 

Give a Polaroid 10-Second Automatic 
Camera to someone in your family. From 
the minute it’s unwrapped, you'll start 
getting great pictures. And all you want. 

You'll get more pictures because this 
new Polaroid Land Camera takes the work 
out of photography. And the waiting. It’s 
fun to make snapshots when you know 


you'll see them in ten seconds. For the 
same reason, children actually like to 
pose for 10-second pictures. 

They like to take them, too. Anyone 
old enough to aim a Polaroid Automatic 
Camera can use it. Simply push three 
buttons and, ten seconds later, take out 
a perfect picture. 

You don’t have to focus to get sharp 
pictures. And, in portrait position, you 


can work as close as 30”. 
You don’t worry about the light. The 
electric eye automatically selects the 
right exposure, dawn to dusk. It even sig- 
nals you when to use the built-in flash! 
So get a full album of fine pictures, 
starting with Christmas morning. Give a 
Polaroid 10-Second Automatic Camera. 
It’s the only present you'll give that 
will give you presents forever. 








THIS IS JET PROPULSION! .. . the exclusive 
jet-action power drive of the new Graphic 35 Jet— 
self-contained, positive, and complete. A single short 
flick of the trigger takes the exposure, advances the 
film, and cocks the shutter for your next picture. 
Then the next and the next—up to 2 shots a second! 


PLUS PUSH-BUTTON FOCUSING!.... 
fastest . . . continuous .. . with nothing to turn or 
twist or take your attention from your subject. 
Without moving your eye from the finder, or your 
fingers from the controls, push-button pressure 
keeps you in focus for picture after picture—even 
while you're shooting! 








with full fingertip control for fast sequence shots... 


PLUS FULLTIME EXPOSURE SETTING! 
. . . outdoors, you just match the pointer of its 
shutter-coupled meter. With flash, match the color 
of focus-coupled Spectramatic calculator. Nothing 
to “read” ... a quick glance and you’re set—day or 
night, indoors or out! 


WITH YOUR GRAPHIC 35 JET, you're 
always on target, and ready—for a studied single 
shot, or a fast, roll-long sequence. Naturally, you 
make better pictures. With a// the action, you have 
the pose, the expression, the composition you choose 
for the picture you want . . . the added interest of 
complete, story-telling slide sequences. 


JET PHOTOGRAPHY HAS ARRIVED— 
at your Graflex dealer’s. See the unique Graphic 35 
Jet. Try its full-cycle drive .. . its fast fingertip 
operation . . . and you'll want the new picture 
power of this, the first and only jet camera. Graflex,

You can tell it’s an Airequipt Superba in the dark! 


If you’re in the audience, you can prob- 
ably guess it’s an Airequipt Superba 
slide projector by the sharpness and 
brilliance of the pictures. 

If you’re running the show, there’s 
just no question about it. The famous 
Airequipt slide magazines and fool- 
proof changing mechanism give your 
slide show a special ease and smooth- 
ness. And—with the Airequipt Superba 


77, for instance —you can run the show 


from virtually anywhere in the room. 
With one hand. In the dark. By remote 
control, you change slides forward or 
reverse and even focus. 

And with the ultimate in slide pro- 
jectors, the amazing new Airequipt 
Superba Sonic, your commands are 
transmitted instantly by a unique four- 
way wireless remote control. 

Or with most Airequipt models you 
can set the button on the machine for 


Automatic and it runs the show by itself. 

One caution, however. Don’t buy 
your slide projector in the dark. Com- 
pare the Airequipt Superbas with any 
other slide projectors in the store. You'll 
find that they’re the smallest, lightest, 
most compact fully-automatic slide 
projectors on the market. When you 
discover you can choose from five 
Airequipt Superba models starting at 
less than $60, you’ll see the light.

chrome and Ektachrome and make un- 
usual and exciting pictures. Here are 
two experiment suggestions. 

Lower ASA Rating: Have you ever 
tried rating a film lower than its given 
ASA speed? Anscochrome can be 
rated as low as 8 and Ektachrome as 
low as 10. Decreasing the speed of a 
film allows you to shoot in bright light 
when the largest lens opening and 
highest speed marked on your camera 
would cause overexposure. You can set 
the diaphragm wide open to throw the 
background out of focus. With a slower 
shutter speed you can get interesting 
blurred motion effects. 


Special processing information 


A lower index will also give you in- 
creased exposure latitude. Transpar- 
encies that are low in contrast are 
easier and better to duplicate and 
print. For information on special proc- 
essing of color films exposed at higher 
or lower than normal indexes, write 
Customer Service Dept., Ansco, Bing- 
hamton, N. Y.; and Sales Service Dept., 
Eastman Kodak Co., 343 State St., 
Rochester 4, N. Y. 

Exaggerating graininess: By taking 
advantage of the grain in your film 
you can achieve some startling impres- 
sionistic effects. Using either Ansco- 
chrome or Ektachrome, compose your 
subject in the viewfinder and move 
back about 10X the normal picture 
taking distance. When you make a 
print or have one made, blow up only 
a small section of the transparency. 
You will have an amazing picture made 
up of small colored dots resembling the 
paintings of Seurat. 

Just as no two picture taking situa- 
tions are alike, no two films are alike. 
Therefore you should be familiar with 
the individual characteristics of each 
type of film and make your choice 
according to the situation in which you 
are shooting. 


Consider the characteristics 


For example, on a cloudy day, Ans- 
cochrome and Kodachrome will give 
you flat and lifeless transparencies. 
For as much color saturation as possi- 
ble, you need the extra snap of Ekta- 
chrome. Use it whenever your subject 
is dull or pale in color. Characteristics 
of Anscochrome on the other hand, are 
softness, delicacy of color and an over- 
all warmth and richness that is unique. 
It is noted for its fine renditions of 
reds, yellows and greens and its ability 
to render color correctly over a wide 
brightness range. Thus it is an ex- 
cellent film for outdoor subjects. 

KII may be praised for its high 
resolution and fine grain, features 
which make big, sharp, grainless full- 
page reproductions and prints possible. 
But for ordinary screen projection in 
the home, camera club or lecture hall, 
Anscochrome and Ektachrome are 
more than satisfactory—-THE END

Why are there 19 electrical resistors 


in the new fully automatic 


electric eye FUJICA 35ce 


Shown here, enlarged twice actual size, is one of the reasons for the con 
sistently correct exposures you get AUTOMATICALLY with the New FUJICA. 
Instead of having gears or cams that might be affected by temperature or phys- 
ical shock, there are 19 electrical resistors. These control the infinitely small 
electrical impulses generated by light that hits the electric eye. They are part 
of an unusually precise system that opens up or closes down the lens 
AUTOMATICALLY. 

In addition, the tremendous. light gathering power of the world-famous 
FUJINON 6 element f/1.9 lens gives you perfectly exposed shots at light levels 
so low, other cameras require flash. A ‘‘Close-up Light-Lock"’ enables you to 
expose properly for a specific part of your subject, no matter how bright or dull 
the side or, background light. 

The fastest action poses no problem. You have 11 shutter speeds from one

meter. A built-in Stop and Go Signal tells you when to switch to a slower shutter 
speed for a particular light situation 

Overall operation is quite simple. FUJICA’s natural thumb position rear 
focusing enables you to shift and pinpoint your focus quickly and smoothly from 
closeup to middle shot to infinity without finger fumbling. An extra large view 
finder window ‘‘previews"’ your picture in the exact size you want without con- 


fusing crop lines.

CAMERA CLUBS 


(Continued from page 28) 


must have thought to himself. He 
would have had the same non-enthus- 
iasm from a club of color slide shoot- 
ers, I’m sure. Shutterbugs want to find 
their own material and have their own 
set of slides or prints. Once in a blue 
moon you do hear of a club project, 
so to speak. That is, the club members 
work on an assigned theme. Fine, if 
there is a special prize or award for 
the best set of pictures, and if each 
fellow works alone. 

Churches have all sorts of special 
doings at Christmastime which ought 
to make interesting pictures. No doubt 
any church would be glad to have a set 
of prints or slides on these affairs. 

But most clubs would rather go for 
the idea of having a special contest for 
the best Christmas picture, a shot 
epitomizing some aspect of Christmas, 
entries to be judged as early in Janu- 
ary as possible. Christmas lingers in 
the air for just a few days after 
January first, haven’t you noticed? 


Look around for good themes 


Or, the contest theme might be 
“Christmas in Our Town.” Let each 
member find out about the Christmas 
plans of individuals or groups which 
would make an unusual shot. For in- 
stance, in New York the girls employed 
by the telephone company ask people 
to send them dolls, which the girls 
dress in elegant wardrobes. The dolls 
are given to children in hospitals. _ 

Your community no doubt has some 
unique Christmas project worth photo- 
graphing. The amateur could use his 
time, sense of composition and effective 
lighting to make contest-worthy shots 
of this same material. 

If you have read this far, you have 
probably been thinking, ‘Maybe pretty 
soon she’ll tell us how to throw a 
Christmas party.” All right. Have 
dinner at a restaurant. Remember how 
mad the lady members were because 
they had so many canapes left over? 

Don’t like the restaurant idea? The 
wives and the lady club members do! 
So go ahead with a shindig in your 
club quarters, but get a caterer to send 
in the party food. The two sassiest 
members of the club may be willing 
to buy gifts, at 10 cents each, tops 25 
cents, of a gag nature, to be handed 
out from a pile under a tripod tree. 
With plastic holly and some shiny balls 
and ornaments, a tripod can be made 
into quite some Christmas tree. If you 
think a grab bag of goofy gifts would 
be more fun, fine. It would be simpler 
than devising something excruciat- 
ingly appropriate for each individual. 

Remember, now. No pestering the 
women members to bring home-made 
cakes or cookies. They’ll have enough 
to do, wrapping all those little gifts. 
Dime store toys are the ideal gifts- 
for-laughs. Then donate them to kids 
in hospitals, where Santa Claus stops 
with a mighty slim pack.—THE END

65 - 105 - 180 


new formula for getting the most out of a twin-lens reflex 


Lens interchangeability provides the Mamiya C2 user with a 
freedom of lens choice offered by no other twin-lens reflex. And 
because of it, some very startling discoveries have been made 
which seem to show a trend away from the traditional 75mm or 
80mm ‘normal’ lens. One professional C2 user puts it this way: 


“Using the 105mm as a ‘normal’ lens instead of the 80, | have the 
advantage of a longer focal length—a slightly larger image and 
better perspective for close-ups and portraiture. 


“Also, | find that | can handle just about everything with only two 
additional lenses. The 65mm gives me a considerably wider 
angle than the 105, and it also lets me focus to 4 inches without 
attachments. The 180mm lens covers all my telephoto needs. 


This lens has always been a favorite of mine, for close-cropped 
portraits, sports, industrials and long-distance shots.” 


The 65, 105 and 180mm lens complement is evidently becoming 
a very popular lens combination for the Mamiya C2—especially 
among the professionals. And it is interesting to note how many 
more C2 cameras are now being sold with 105mm lenses. 


Whatever lens preferences you may have, if you want a twin- 
lens reflex that can give you close-ups without attachments, inter- 
changeable wide angle, normal and telephotography, examine 
the Mamiya C2. It's the world’s most versatile twin-lens reflex— 
the only twin-lens reflex with interchangeable lenses. See it at 
your dealer today. For further details, write to Dept. MP-12

“Life” photographers and large 
cameras, Part Il: An interview with 
Ralph Morse and Yale Joel. 


In last month’s 
column I inter- 
viewed Eliot 
Elisofon, well- 
known for his 
scenic essays on 
foreign countries 
and photographs 
of food. Ralph 
Morse and Yale 
Joel are primarily 
photographers of people and action, 
which calls for small cameras. It may 
come as a surprise to learn that both 
are avid practitioners of large-camera 
photography; in fact, both state em- 
phatically that they consider large 
cameras indispensable in their work. 





A 


Ralph Morse owns three 

Ralph Morse, well-known for his 
photographic essays on space flight, 
owns three large cameras: a 5 x 7 
Deardorff with auxiliary 4 x 5 back, 
and two 4 x 5 Graphics, one with and 
one without a rear (focal-plane) shut- 
ter. Morse frequently sets up all three 
side by side, interconnects their syn- 
chronized shutters, and shoots a se- 
quence of three different phases of an 
event by firing them one after another 
with a timing switch. 

This method offers several advan- 
tages. Morse’s chances of capturing the 
peak of action are three times greater 
than if he had used only one camera. 
He can use only the best shot, or he 
can show three different phases of the 
action. Also, he often equips one cam- 
era with a wide-angle lens, one with 
a standard, and one with a tele. In 
this way he can, for example, show a 
rocket together with the entire launch- 
ing area (wide-angle lens) ; the rocket 
itself in full detail (standard lens), and 
after the take-off, the rocket in flight 
(tele lens). 

Another one of Ralph Morse’s spe- 
cialties is the multiple-exposure. You 
may remember Morse’s color shot of 
a Civil War soldier shown in a single 
picture in thirteen different positions 
loading, aiming and firing his musket. 
This shot involved the superimposition

Some photographers think owning a Linhof is a luxury. 

+ A N YOU Far from it! Linhof users aren’t ivory-tower glamour boys. 
They're down-to-earth professionals. Budget-wise indus-

LARGE CAMERA 
(Continued from page 52) 


of thirteen different exposures on a 
single sheet of color film, with careful 
masking of each shot to prevent un- 
desirable ghost images. Morse em- 
ployed this same technique to illus- 
trate a teacher’s different jobs by 
showing her in six positions at once; 
and to show an entire foot race in 
Madison Square Garden by recording 
in one picture the start, middle and 
finish of the race. 

Morse has a set of eight lenses rang- 
ing from a 65mm Super-Angulon wide- 
angle lens to a 400mm Tele-Megor. All 
lenses are mounted on Graphic lens 
boards (his Deardorff is fitted with an 
adapter) and can be used interchange- 
ably on any of his cameras. And since 
he frequently uses strobe, all his shut- 
ters have X sync. 

In conclusion, Morse told me another 
very interesting fact—he uses a large 
camera for more than half of his color 
photographs. 


Yale Joel and the syringe camera 


Yale Joel is known as “the man with 
the syringe camera.” Actually, tiuis 
syringe camera does not belong to Joel, 
but to Life. It is an 8 x 10 box-type 
camera fitted with a 3-in. f/45 Goerz 
Hypergon lens with a 130-degree angle 
of view. The syringe camera gets its 
name from the fact that, for uniform 
light-distribution, a small spinner in 
front of the lens must be rotated dur- 
ing part of the exposure by means of 
a hand-pump and a rubber tube. 

Whenever Joel gets the job of show- 
ing some hackneyed subject in a new 
and interesting way, he reaches for the 
syringe camera. By means of a wild 
‘magination and clever exploitation of 
the wide-angle distortion, he produces, 
nine times out of ten, an unusual and 
often staggering picture; in the tenth 
case he flops. You may remember his 
fantastic shot of the Time & Life 
Building taken from above the roof, 
looking down. To make this shot, he 
fastened the syringe camera to a long 
boom and suspended it vertically above 
the street. The resulting picture is 
known to have made people with acro- 
phobia sick. 

Joel owns a 4 x 5 Linhof Technika 
and a full set of lenses from 65mm 
super wide-angle to 400mm telephoto. 
His Linhof is fitted with a ground glass 
etched with a grid of parallel lines 
which helps him keep verticals parallel 
when using the camera’s swings. He 
says that in difficult positions such as 
shooting out of a tiny window in the 
roof, a small mirror held .in front of 
the lens enables him to see and set the 
diaphragm and shutter-speed dial of a 
Compur shutter. 

Although primarily a user of small 
cameras, Yale Joel says that the large 
camera is a vitally important part of 
his equipment, and that he could not 
have produced his most successful pic- 
tures without its help.—THE END

guerreotypists Morse and Draper (the 
Morse being Samuel F. B. Morse of 
telegraphy fame) sum up the possibili- 
ties of the process: 

“. .. The eye appears beautifully; 
the iris with sharpness, and the white 
dot of light upon it, with such strength 
and so much of reality and life, as to 
surprise those who have never before 
seen it. Many are persuaded, that the 
pencil of the painter has been secretly 
employed to give this finishing touch.” 

Morse and Draper were too much of 
the creative artists to foresee that 
truth would inevitably give way to the 
retoucher’s pencil which under proper 
persuasion from the client would 
secretly give the finishing touch.—H.k. 


ARCHITECTURE IN AMERICA, a Pho- 
tographic History From The Colonial 
Period To The Present, text and photo- 
graphs by Wayne Andrews, 179 pages. 
Atheneum, $15 

Splendid examples of the craft of 
the architectural photographer. If 
there is a similarity in the photographs, 
this is as it should be, for Wayne 
Andrews is not creating pictures. In- 
stead, he is depicting with a clear and 
unprejudiced eye another art, another 
medium. In each of the photographs, 
the shooting angle, the time of day 
and the lighting have been chosen to 
reveal the maximum—-of line, form, 
detail and texture—of the structure 
photographed. Photographic quality 
and reproduction are excellent.—P.c. 


THE MAGIC OF THE OPERA, a Picture 
Memoir of the Metropolitan, with a 
series of contemporary photographs by 
Gijon Mili, text by Mary Ellis Petty, de- 
sign by Tina S. Fredericks, 172 pages. 
Praeger, $10 

Without exception the photographs 
in this book are delightful. The old 
ones, gathered from a variety of 
sources, show stars and sets of days 
gone by: Caruso, Farrar, Melba, clad 
and in character for their most famous 
roles. The new ones, by Gjon Mili, deal 
with the contemporary: audiences, 
dancers, stagehands, singers. 

Mili’s pictures are top notch, in 
quality and in reproduction. They are 
more than simply story telling for 
they reveal the intangibles—the ele- 
gance, the genius, and the effort— 
which go into making the Met.—P.c.

Correction: In “Too Hot To 
Handle” on page 55 of the Octo- 
ber MODERN, to answer Cpl. 
J. N. Clarkis’ question “Would 
the Leica M3 with 50mm f/1.5 
Summarit and Habricht 8 X 30 
binoculars be a workable com- 
bination for telephoto effects?” 
we meant to say that we would 
not consider the Habricht binocu- 
lar to be of first-rate quality for 
photographic purposes.

BY JOHN WOLBARST 


Rangefinder cameras should be 
checked for focus periodically. 
Here are some simple tests. 


In my September 1961 column I de- 
scribed ways to check the focusing ar- 
rangements of single-lens reflex 35mm 
cameras. Such checks are even more 
important with rangefinder cameras, 
since the rangefinder mechanism con- 
tains various mechanical linkages 
which can be thrown out of adjust- 
ment by shock, or other hard use. 

The most common rangefinder check 
is to set the camera for infinity and 
aim out the window at a distant flag- 
pole, water tower, or tall building. The- 
oretically, if the rangefinder is of 
the coincidence type, the two images 
should overiap perfectly; if of the 
split-image type, they should make a 
single unbroken line. © 

This a good quick check to deter- 
mine if the rangefinder works have 
been badly scrambled and are totally 
out of adjustment. However, the mere 
fact that the rangefinder images match 
at infinity is no guarantee whatsoever 
that it will give you accurate focus at 
close ranges. And besides, who needs 
a rangefinder for far distant subjects ? 

A rangefinder camera should be 
checked for focus at several distances, 
particularly those which are most im- 
portant to you. I check my cameras 


1. For quick visual check, aim camera 
straight down at target on floor. 





with 50mm lenses at 4, 7, and some- 
times 10 ft. 

If your camera has aczessory lenses 
which couple to the rangefinder they 
should also be checked for accurate 
focus at important close ranges. Differ- 
ences in the focusing mounts of some 
supposedly interchangeable lenses can 
lead to mystifying focusing troubles. 


The ground glass/magnifier check 

Focus can be checked visuaily and 
quickly if the camera back opens. For 
this you need a small piece of fine- 
grained ground glass to fit in the film 
channel in the back of the camera, 
and a 10X or 12X magnifier which can 
be adjusted for focus. Remember that 
the image is formed on the bottom 
(ground portion) of the glass and the 
magnifier must be adjusted for this. 
To do this, make a small X on the bot- 
tom of the ground glass with a sharp 
pencil and adjust the magnifier so the 
X is sharply focused when you are 
looking down through the top of the 
ground glass. 

According to the best repairmen 
with whom I’ve spoken, it’s desirable 
to put one thickness of transparent

in back of camera; be sure it lies flat. 
10X or 12X magnifier goes on top. 


tape across the narrow ends of the 
ground glass, on the underside, to 
raise the glass a‘tiny bit in the film 
channel. 

For a target I use a page from this 
magazine, taped to a piece of card- 
board which is laid flat under a tripod 
as shown in photo 1. I use this vertical 
technique because it’s easier to handle 
the ground glass and magnifier this 
way than when the camera is hori- 
zontal. 

One of the vertical lines which di- 
vide the page into columns makes a 
good aiming point for the rangefinder. 
Set the ground glass and magnifier in 
position as shown in photo 2. With the 
lens wide open focus on the type page 
and get it as sharp as possible. Do this 
at least six times and note the position 
of the distance scale each time—either 
make a note on a piece of paper or, if 
the nature of the lens mount permits 
it, make a small mark on the mount 
to indicate the sharp focus point. 


The rangefinder routine 
Set the lens to infinity and turn it 
until the rangefinder shows the vertical 
line in sharp focus. Note the position 
of the distance scale. Then continue

35MM 
(Continued from page 58) 


to move the lens to its closest focusing 
point and from there turn it back again 
until the rangefinder again shows the 
vertical line in sharp focus. Again note 
the position of the distance scale. You 
should wind up at just about the same 
point as when you focused from infin- 
ity. If not, there is looseness or “back- 
lash” in the rangefinder and it needs 
attention. Repeat this whole routine at 
least six times noting carefully where 
the lens stops each time. Now compare 
your notes of the rangefinder and 
ground glass/magnifier checks. They 
should show that the lens has stopped 
in just about the same spot each time 
you focused. 


How critical can you be? 

The Anscoset shown in photos 1 and 
2 had a good rangefinder. At 4 ft. I was 
unable to detect any difference between 
the focusing positions achieved with 
the rangefinder and with the ground 
glass and magnifier. However, at 7 ft. 
my notes showed a slight difference, 
which I figured to be about 2-3 in. I 
considered this a very good perform- 
ance by me and the Anscoset. For one 
thing, at 7 ft. it is extraordinarily dif- 
ficult to focus exactly with an ordinary 
subject, such as a person. Even with 
such a sharply defined subject as my 
test target, at 7 ft. or further it is easy 
to make a slight judgment error in 
deciding if the ground glass image is 
at its sharpest or if the rangefinder 
images match. 


Checking with film 

If the camera has a solid back (old 
model Leicas and.copies of that de- 
sign) or if you don’t have a magnifier 
and ground glass, it’s easy to check 
focus with actual exposures on a fine 
grain film. Kodak Plus-X Pan will do, 
but with Kodak Panatomic-X or Adox 
KB-14 it may be slightly easier to read 
the results. 

I set up my target and camera as 
shown in photos 3 and 4. Since this is

What to do about it 

If your rangefinder focus is off, don’t 
try to fix it yourself. Ask your local 
camera store for the name of a reliable 
repairman. Or, write to the manufac- 
turer or importer of your camera and 
ask for the location of the nearest au- 
thorized repairman. 

The rangefinder may be just a bit 
out of adjustment ‘or the trouble may 
be more serious. For example, a hard 
blow may have bent in the front of 
the camera body. This can be a tricky 
and expensive repair.—THE END 


DO IT, DO IT, DO 


EMERGENCY LENS SHADE. For tem- 
porary use, an emergency lens shade 
can be made by cutting a hole in the 
bottom of a paper cup, and fitting it over 
the lens; or you can use the cardboard 
tube from the center of a roll of bath- 
room tissue (cut short and fitted over 
the lens). As a last resort, dark paper 
can be taped around the lens. 





EMERGENCY REDUCER FOR WNEGA- 
TIVES. An excellent reducer for overly 
dark negatives is common household 
bleach. Mix 14 oz. bleach to 8 oz. water. 
Soak negatives in water for 5 to 10 min., 
then immerse them in bleach bath until 
the desired density is reached. Wash 
them in running water for about 15 min- 
utes and hang them up to dry.

vertible lenses we've tested) doesn’t 
seem to measure up to the sharpness 
of single focal length lenses. We'd have 
to choose the 135mm f/2.8 Spiratone 
over the Converto-Tamron. 


Which is more sensitive to low light— 
the new cadmium sulfide cell; Sekonic 
Microlite L-88, or the conventional 
selenium cell, General Electric Golden 
Crown (with booster)? Will either give 
an accurate reading in low light of 16 
sec. at f/2?—C. A. Conover, Roanoke, 
Va. 

We feel that the General Electric Golden 
Crown meter is probably slightly more 
sensitive to low light, but that in low 
light conditions the Sekonic Microlite 
L-88 is probably slightly more accurate. 
With an average speed film with an ASA 
index of 100 or 200 we do not feel that 
either will give accurate readings for 16- 
second exposures at f/2. 


| currently own a 214 x 214 Rolleicord 
with which | am generally satisfied. | 
would, however, like a camera with in- 
terchangeable lenses and am consider- 
ing the 214 x 214 Kalimar reflex. Would 
picture quality be as good as with my 
present Rollei? Or, should | buy a 35mm 
single lens reflex? How do 35mm and 
2144 x 214 negatives compare for en- 
larging purposes—to prints of about 
16 x 20, for example?—J. P. Stewart, 
Rochester, N. Y. 

Optical performance of the Rollei and 
Kalimar reflex 214 x 214 cameras is 
about equal. However, we do feel that 
mechanical durability of the Rollei is 
superior. The choice between 35mm 
and 214 x 214% is largely a personal one. 
However, should you want to enlarge 
to 16 x 20, the 214 negative would pro- 
duce superior prints in most cases. 


The Robin cameras have been widely 
advertised by Peerless and Willoughby. 
I haven’t been able to find a report on 
them. Can you tell me something about 


TO HANDLE 


OT 


the quality of the Robin with f/1.9 lens 
in particular?—R. Kelly, Brooklyn, N. Y. 
We haven’t tested the Robin as such. 
MODERN policy is not to test equipment 
unless it’s nationally distributed. Robin 
is a personal brand name of Grayson- 
Robinson, owner of the Peerless and 
Willoughby camera stores. The camera 
is actually the Neoca, which we tested 
some time ago with the 45mm f/2.8 
Neokor lens and found to be a good 
value. 


I am interested in shooting marching 
bands and landscapes. The Praktica 
FX2 single lens reflex seems like a good 
choice from an economic point of view, 
but I’m also interested in the full size 
and Baby Rolleiflexes. How good is the 
Praktica? Would you buy it in preference 
to the other two cameras? In the event 
that | decide on one of the Rolleis, 
which of the tele adapters made by 
various firms would you recommend?— 
A. L. Triggs, Melvern, Kansas. 

Frankly, we can’t recommend the Prak- 
tica FX2 since it has been discontinued 
and did have various shutter troubles. 
We definitely feel that the Baby Rollei- 
flex would be the best choice since it 
sells for less than $60 including case 
and flash gun at Montgomery Ward & 
Co. However, telephoto adapters for 
non-interchangeable twin-lens reflexes 
do measureably downgrade the image, 
so we can’t recommend you use them. 


Which of these three enlargers would 
you recommend for 35mm and 214 x 
21% on the basis of construction com- 
pactness and ability to produce good 
results: Durst 606 with Schneider Com- 
ponar f/4.5, Meopta Opemus I! with 
Belar f/4.5, or Primos (non-autofocus) 
with Schneider Componar?—H. J. 
Billia, Bronx, N. Y. 

We'd pick the Durst 606. 


Which would you choose—the Miranda 
D with f/2.8 preset lens or the Petri 
Penta with f/2 preset?——J. D. Mathiason, 
Wheaton, Minn. 

We'd buy the Miranda D rather than the 
Petri. The Miranda can later be fitted 
with automatic lenses if you desire. Also, 
the particular Petri you mention is a dis- 
continued camera. 


My Pentacon 35mm camera shutter is 
operating at only one speed—1/50 
sec. and I'd like to trade it in. Can you 
suggest a camera that will allow me to 
use the preset lenses | now have?— 
F. E. Rimback, Livermore, Calif. 

We'd suggest a camera such as the 
Pentax H-1 which has the same thread 
as your Pentacon. Since you already own 
preset lenses and presumably won't 
need a camera which has an automatic 
diaphragm, the recently discontinued 
Petri Penta—also with the same thread 
— is a good buy in your case. 


I've heard two different stories on the 
interchangeability of Canon and Leica 
lenses. Some say there’s no difference 
between the mounts and others are sure 
that interchangeability is not perfect. 
Who is right?—I. Pelech, Watertown, 
Mass. 

The film plane-to-lens mount flange dis- 
tance on properly adjusted threaded 
Leica and Canon models are precisely 
the same. Therefore, the threaded lenses 
of one camera will work with the range- 
finder of the other without difficulty. 


| am trying to decide between a 50mm 
f/4.5 or f/4 Schneider Componon and 
the 50mm f/2.8 Nikkor enlarging lenses. 
Friends have told me that the Nikkor is 
“too fast.” How do they compare for 
color work?—L. G. Lowe, New Orleans, 
La. 

We can’t imagine how an enlarging lens 
could be too fast. Actually, a maximum 
aperture of f/2.8 would make the lens 
easier to focus since more light is trans- 
mitted to the easel. We would judge the 
performance of the Componon and the 
Nikkor to be equal and both would be 
excellent for color work. 


IN NEXT MONTH’S 
MODERN 


How lenses affect color. 


| have a Praktica 35mm _ camera 
equipped with a 45mm f/2.8 Hexatar 
lens. Can you compare it to a f/2.9 
Meyer Trioplan, f/1.9 Meyer Primoplan 
and f/2.8 Tessar?—J. O. Rhinemiller, 
Huron, Ohio. 

Sorry, we have no information on the 
Hexatar lens. However, we feel that the 
Meyer Trioplan f/2.9 and Meyer Primo- 
plan f/1.9 are barely acceptable lenses 
except at extremely small apertures. 
They definitely do not compare with the 
f/2.8 Tessar, a far superior lens. 


I’ve been shooting Kodachrome I! with 
my Argus C44. At appropriate apertures 
using 1/30 and 1/60 sec. results are 
excellent. At 1/300, with the aperture 
adjusted to give the same exposure, the 
image is definitely overexposed. Is this 
one of the idiosyncrasies of the film?— 
H. J. Rice, Detroit, Mich. 
No. We'd hazard an educated guess 
your C44 shutter is at fault. At 1/300 
sec. it’s operating a bit sluggishly. Have 
it checked by a camera technician.

Should You Buy A Used Camera 


Without Flash Synchronization? 


Compiled by A. C. — ow York City Rush Photo Repair, 


Is it worthwhile to buy a camera which does not have 
flash sync built in and have the synchronization mecha- 
nism added? The answer to that is a tentative “‘yes” which 
may be a definite “‘yes’”’—if: the price of the camera is ~ 
more than $50 and it is in all other ways suitable for your 
purposes; if you shoot flash only occasionally; if you can’t 
buy another equally good camera with factory installed 
sync for the price of the old non-sync camera plus the 
cost of installing sync; if you or your photo dealer know ~ 
a reliable repairman who can do a good installation job. 

However, if you do a lot of flash work, some with bulbs © 
and some with speed light, then you’d better save your © 
money to buy a camera with factory installed sync for all 
kinds of flash work. i 

Here’s a list of the various types of sync which might 
be added to an old camera, plus recommendations and © 
costs. The internal installations are of the simplest type, | 
using a single switch. If you want a safety switch to pre- | 
vent accidental flashing (focal-plane shutters only), add ™ 
about 50 percent to the cost of the installation. 


Type 1: internal contact points with zero delay. That is, | 
the electrical circuit is completed at the instant the shutter 
blades or curtains are’ wide open. Commonly called “X” | 
sync, this is the easiest type to install in a non-sync” 
shutter. It is most useful in a leaf-type shutter. You can | 
use electronic flash at any speed; at slow shutter speeds 
(up to about 1/30 sec.) any type of flashbulb may be- 
used. It can be added successfully to all models of the’ 
Compur shutter, to most Prontors, and to t‘ie better grade 
Japanese makes. Approximate cost range is $15 to $25. | 

For focal-plane shutters, X sync is desirable if you plan™ 
to use electronic flash mainly. If your main concern is” 
with flashbulbs, Type 2 or 4 (below) may be more useful.) 
X sync can be added successfully to practically any 35mm ™ 
or roll film camera with focal-plane shutter. Approximate © 
cost range is $18 to $40. 


Type 2: Internal contact points with 20-millisecond dela 
That is, the circuit is completed .017 to .020 secon 
before the shutter-blades or curtains are wide open. This” 
type of sync is designed for use only with Class M bulbs - 
and leaf-type shutters, and Class FP bulbs and focal-plane; 
shutters. Unless you have definite reason for sticking ~ 
clusively to flashbulbs, it is inadvisable to install this ty 
of sync in a leaf shutter (except in conjunction with X7 
sync). It is, however, quite usable with 35mm focal-plané 
shutters. Approximate cost range is $18 to $40. F 


Type 3: Internal contact points with 3-millisecond delay. 
That is, the circuit is completed about .003 seconds before 
the shutter blades or curtains are wide open. This is for 
use only with Class F (SM or SF) flashbulbs. It is inad 
visable to install such sync, as the Class F bulbs may 6 
used satisfactorily with X sync (Type 1, above). 


Type 4: External contact points, ag by move 

of a shutter speed setting ring, or similar part of the cam 
era mechanism. These are useful mainly for synchroni 
focal-plane shutters. Some types let you use high shutter 
speeds with FP bulbs; others provide a version of ‘“‘opé 
flasi”’ for speed light or flashbulbs. Wide range of prices 


5: External solenoid to actuate shutter. These 
only with set-and-release shutters, preferably of the 
type, and are for use only with flashbulbs, generally C’ 
M. This type of sync is virtually obsolete today, and it 
inadvisable to install it on a camera (except for sof 
Press types) unless there is compelling reason to do $ 


Type 6: Mechanical devices which screw into the | 
release socket. These are of three kinds: (1) So-callé 
“passive” synchronizers actuated by the shutter, aft 
it is tripped. These are inexpensive and may be us 
with an old self-cocking shutter for an occasional flas 
(2) Cable release incorporating a mechanical time dela} 
(3) Cable release actuated by solenoid. All three syste 
are of relatively limited utility. 








RANGEFINDER 35MM 


Unless otherwise noted, all cameras in this section have a single-window range-viewfinder with a coincident- 
type rangefinder; single-stroke film advance, shutter-cocking lever located at or near the camera top; a rewind 
crank/knob on camera top. All focal-plane shutters are cloth unless noted. ST indicates a self timer. 
Auto frame counter indicates self-setting.

These are grouped in single- and twin-lens types. The former are listed just like the 35mm reflexes, with the 
film size added under ‘‘Name.” With the latter, V indicates viewing lens; auto loading means no lining up, semi- 
auto means lining up film with mark inside camera; and unless otherwise noted, all have a sportsfinder.

THE EDIXA-MAT C: 
AN SLR WITH METER 


Manufacturer's specifications: 
Edixa-mat C 35mm_ eye-level 
single-lens reflex. Lens: 50mm 
f/1.9 Xenon with stops to f/22, 
focusing to 1% ft. Shutter: Cloth 
focal-plane with speeds from 
1-1/1000 sec. plus B, FPX sync. 
Viewing: Interchangeable eye- 
level prism finder with ground- 
glass screen and split-prism range- 
finder. Other features: Built-in ex- 
posure meter; internal automatic, 
instant-return diaphragm; rapid- 
return mirror; depth-of-field pre- 
viewer; manual reset frame counter; 
shutter release safety lock. Price: 
$299.50. Importer: Edixa Camera 
Co., 10 S. Second Ave., Mt. Vernon, 
New York. 


The Edixa-mat body is basically the 
same as that of the Edixa Reflex, 
which was reported in the August 1958 
“Modern Tests."" The main differences 


are that the newer camera has a 
rapid-return mirror in addition to the 
fully automatic diaphragm, it has a 
different standard lens, and it costs 
about $30 less. The Edixa-mat comes 
in three versions: the B is the basic 
model, the C has an improved built-in 
exposure meter, and the D has an ad- 
justable self timer. 

Mechanically, the camera operates 
smoothly and easily. The rapid wind 
lever with its 180° throw is among the 
sweetest-moving we've handled, and 
the front shutter release is among the 
most sensitive. Of course, since the 
body does remain much the same as 
that of the Edixa Reflex, there's still a 
rewind knob instead of a rapid lever, 
and there are two setting dials, fast- 
and slow-range, for the non-linear 
shutter speeds. 

What we said of the Edixa Reflex’ 
finder image applies just as well to 
that of the Edixa-mat: It ‘was exceed- 
ingly bright and had no fall-off of 
sharpness or brightness at the image 
corners. The centrally located split- 
image rangefinder worked clearly 
with both halves of the image moving 
out of alignment when the camera 
was out of focus."’ In addition, the 
Edixa-mat features a flag that ap- 
pears in the finder to warn you when 
the shutter is not cocked. 

The exposure meter offers a dual 
brightness range, with a hinged baffle 
over the meter window that is raised 
or lowered accordingly. The meter 
proved to give sensitive and accurate 
readings in a low-light level requiring 
the equivalent of f/2.8 at 1/50 sec. 
with E.1. 400. 

Our tests of the 50mm f/1.9 Xenon 
lens showed that central sharpness 
was good at f/1.9 with much fall-off 
at the edges. Between f/4 and f/5.6 
sharpness was very good with some 
fall-off in the corners. Overall sharp- 
ness decreased slightly at smaller 
apertures. 

Some of the corner sharpness fall- 


off found with this lens is caused by 
curvature of field. At all but moder- 
ately close focusing distances this 
effect is slight.—W.H.J. 





FUJICA 35EE: SEMI-AUTO 
TO ELECTRIC EYE 


Manufacturer's specifications: 
Fujica 35EE 35mm rangefinder elec- 
tric-eye camera. Lens: 45mm f/1.9 
Fujinon with stops to f/22, focus- 
ing to 2.5 ft. Shutter: Fuji Snychro 
MXL with switch-over from fully 
automatic to semi-automatic to 
manual with speeds from 1 to 
1/1000 sec., plus B, MX sync. 
Viewing: Brightline framefinder 
with coupled rangefinder, auto- 
matic parallax correction. Other 
features: Built-in exposure meter 
coupled to lens and shutter speed 
controls for E.1. 10 to 200; low-light 
warning signal in viewfinder; 
knurled wheel on back of camera 
operates focusing; rapid advance 
lever on bottom; rapid rewind 
crank on left side; automatic zero 
resetting frame counter. Price: 
$119.95, case $11.95. Importer: 
Fuji Photo Optical Products Inc., 111 
Fifth Ave., New York 3, N. Y. . 


In basic design, the Fujica 35EE is 
similar to the Fujicas previously re- 
viewed in Modern Tests (Fujica 
35-SE, November, 1959; Fujica 35- 
ML, October 1958). Film is advanced 
by the same rapid wind lever on the 
bottom of the camera; focusing is with 
right thumb turning a similar knurled 
wheel on camera back; the 45mm 
#/1.9 Fujinon lens is the same as that 
on the 35-SE; rapid rewind crank is 
in the same position, on the camera 
side. The one important difference is 
in the exposure control system: the 
semi-automatic mechanism of the 
35-SE has been replaced by a fully 
automatic electric eye system. When 
set on automatic, you choose the 
shutter speed, the 35EE does the rest. 

The electric eye system does not 
permit using the full range of shutter 
speeds with every exposure index. 
With E.1. 200 film the slowest speed 
you can set is 1/30 sec.; with E.1. 100 
film, the slowest speed is 1/15 sec., 
etc. However, if you are using the

MODERN 


TESTS 


(Continued from page 129) 


camera on semi-automatic you can 
use the de-coupling release and set 
the slow speeds manually. 

The manufacturer's use of the term 
‘‘semi-automatic’’ calls for some ex- 
planation. Conventionally, semi-auto- 
matic refers to the system in which the 
photographer sets the aperture (or 
the shutter), then adjusts the shutter 
(or the aperture) to match two needles 
or line a single needle up with a 
notch appearing in a window on top 
of the camera and/or in the view- 
finder. In the semi-automatic system 
of the 35EE you choose your shutter 
speed and the meter needle on top 
of the camera indicates the proper f- 
number which you must set manually. 
The limitation on speeds with various 
E.I. settings holds when using the cam- 
era on semi-automatic; and if you use 
the de-coupling release to set a slower 
speed the meter ceases to operate. 
Here, you would have to rely on your 
experience or an accessory meter to 
guide your exposure choice. 

Our tests of the built-in meter 
showed that it was accurate down to 
a reading of f/1.9 at 1/30 second 
for the highest exposure index setting 
of 200. 

Lens tests of the 45mm f/1.9 
Fujinon (as reported in Modern 
Tests, November, 1959) indicated that 
at f/1.9 sharpness is acceptable at 
the center with some sharpness fall- 
off and flare at the edges. At f/5.6 
overall sharpness is excellent and 
flare seemed to be nonexistent. Sharp- 
ness remained excellent as the lens 
was stopped down to f/22. Some of 
the corner fall-off with this lens is 
caused by curvature of field. At all but 
moderately close focusing distances, 
this effect is slight.—P.C. 





AT LAST: PRAKTINA IIA 
35MM PRISM REFLEX 





Manufacturer’s specifications:

single-lens reflex. Lens: Inter- 


130 


changeable 50mm f/2 Carl Zeiss 
Jena Flexon with stops to f/22 and

Viewing: Interchangeable eye- 
level prism reflex with interchange- 
able focusing screen and central 
rangefinder. Other features: Auto- 
matic diaphragm; provision for 
previewing depth of field; acces- 
sory bottom rapid wind lever; 
separate direct optical finder; all 
shutter speeds on non-rotating dial; 
provision for motor drive. Price: 
Less than $220. Importer: Stand- 
ard Camera Corp., 319 Fifth Ave- 
nue, New York 16, N. Y. 


Six years after the factory's an- 
nouncement of this new, improved, 
more automatic Praktina IIA, the cam- 
era has arrived in the U.S. While this 
may seem rather an extraordinary 
interval, there is a vast gain for the 
purchaser. This is no flash-in-the-pan, 
hot-off-the-designer’s-board experi- 
mental model. It works. It’s been 
available for years in Europe and, if 
it had any major bugs, they've been 
ironed out long ago. 

First, how does it compare with the 
original Praktina FX model? To the 
casual observer they seem identical— 
the body casting is the same, controls 
are in the same place, prisms are in- 
terchangeable between the two 
models. Only the new lens in its new 
mount (the FX model had a 58mm f/2 
Biotar lens from Carl Zeiss Jena) seems 
to give the camera away. 

Actually there are many interior 
and a few important exterior differ- 
ences. The diaphragm not only shuts 
automatically when the very smooth 
and handy front shutter release is 
pressed, but it need not be recocked 
to full aperture after each exposure. 
When you wind shutter and film, the 
diaphragm reopens automatically. 

Unfortunately, although the very 
positive and admirably large diameter 
breech lock lens mount is exactly the 
same, the semi-automatic lenses of the 
old camera won't work on the IIA and 
the IIA’s lenses can't be used on the 
FX. Reason: the interior pin on the new 
model draws back to close the dia- 
phragm, while the pin on the FX moves 
forward. Of course, all preset or 
accessory lenses will work on either 
camera model. 


The view through the prism is 
definitely brighter than on the FX. (You 
can tell an old prism from the new one 
easily. The IIA prism has no leather 
covering on front, but has a satin 
finish with the letters KW instead). The 
focusing screen is slightly difficult to 
see completely if you wear glasses but 
is adequately bright, and there is a 
tendency for the edges to darken un- 
less you have your eye centered in 
the finder. The split-image rangefinder 
is efficient although the dark line be- 
tween the two finder halves is slightly 
disturbing. 

The new lens focused smoothly. 
Veteran Praktina owners may find that 
the leather instead of knurled metal 
finish of the focusing ring requires 
some practice to operate as assuredly. 
There’s a very handy and efficient 
depth-of-field preview button on the 
side of the lens mount. When pushed 
it causes the lens to close down. The 
lens reopens instantly when you re- 
move your finger. 

Aside from a special new sync indi- 
cator pointer, the new IIA has all the 
other features of the FX. 

It would be purposeless to attempt 
to evaluate the Praktina IIA feature for 
feature against the vast rash of newer 
prism reflexes. It does not have a 
rapid-return mirror, rapid rewind 
crank, instant-reopen diaphragm, 
automatic frame counter. What it does 
offer is proven reliability plus a num- 
ber of important accessories, includ- 
ing motor drive and remote control. 
It is one of the only cameras with an 
internal automatic diaphragm that can 
be used automatically with extension 
tubes or bellows. 

Among the new accessories which 
fit the IIA and the older FX as well, 
the Exposure Meter Prismatic Finder 
(less than $50) seems most useful, 
although it was not available for test- 
ing. We did, however, try out the 
bottom accessory rapid wind lever 
($8) which resembles the one built 
into the Kodak Retina cameras and 
compares quite favorably with it. 

In actual shooting we found that the 
IIA shutter was relatively quiet and 
the disturbing ratcheting of the FX 
has been considerably lessened. The 
new Flexon lens (similar to the Zeiss 
Pancolar now available for the Exakta 
VX IIA) is an improved version of the 
58mm f/2 Biotar. It delivers a slightly 
smaller subject image because of the 
shorter focal-length, but is superior in 
quality. 

We found that the 50mm f/2 
Flexon produced very good sharpness 
wide open with some sharpness fall- 
off at the corners. At £/5.6 sharpness 
was very good with some fall-off at 
the corners. Overall sharpness de-

at ohn oh ach et ath @ 2 ae 


wT 











creased slightly at smaller apertures. 

Some of the corner sharpness fall- 
off found with this lens is caused by 
curvature of field. At all but moder- 
ately close focusing distances this 
effect is slight. 

Other completely automatic lenses 
available for the IIA model but not 
tested by us are 35mm f/2.8 Zeiss 
Jena Flektogon and Schacht Super- 
Travegon; 80mm and 120mm Carl 
Zeiss Jena Biometer lenses.—H.K. 





YASHICA RAPIDE: NEW 
LOOK IN SINGLE-FRAME 








Manufacturer’s specifications: 
Yashica Rapide 35mm single-frame 
camera. Lens: 28mm f/2.8 Yash- 
inon with apertures to f/22, focus- 
ing to 3 ft. Shutter: Copal-SV with 
speeds from 1 to 1/500 sec. plus 
B, MX sync., self timer. Viewing: 
Bright frame with parallax correct- 
ing merkings. Other features: 
built-in uncoupled exposure meter; 
plunger rapid wind, folding rewind 
crank. Price: Under $60, case extra. 
importer: Yashica, Inc., 234 Fifth 
Ave., New York 1, New York. 


It’s fairly obvious that the single- 
frame 35mm camera which makes 
forty 1x% in. vertical pictures on a 
20-exposure 35mm film roll needn't 
stick to the old standard horizontal 
camera design. The first single-framer 
to investigate the mew mysterious con- 
tours is the Yashica Rapide, which has 
the same size and weight as an 8-tran- 
sistor portable radio. It’s a handsome, 
clean, exceedingly sturdy unit and 
there seems to be more kinship with 
that transistor radio than you might 
think. To set the controls for exposure 
you hold the camera with its lens 
pointed upward and the top of the 
camera pointed at the subject. Rea- 
son? The selenium exposure meter cell 
face is mounted in the top of the cam- 
era rather than in the front. You read 
the number of the band opposite the 
meter needle and set this number on 
the lens mount, twirling the mount as 
you would a radio dial. 

The meter handles film with expo- 
sure indexes from 10 to 800. It's suf- 





ficiently accurate outdoors for color 
film and can read an exposure at 
f/2.8 at 1/30 sec. with a film having 
a 400 exposure index. Once you've 
got the number in the lens mount win- 
dow, you can change shutter speed or 
aperture. Just be sure that when you 
do, you change the other control to 
maintain the number. Then you guess 
your distance and revolve the focusing 
ring to match your guess. 

When ready to take a shot, turn the 
camera around and point the lens at 
your subject, look through the bright 
finder (which is sometimes difficult to 
see completely in bright light), and 
press the extremely quiet and smooth 
shutter release. To advance film and 
recock the shutter you pull downwards 
on a leather thong attached to a metal 
plunger. Wild, eh? 

As an interesting technical point, 
this camera has no sprocket drive. By 
using a large takeup drum the sprocket 
drive has been eliminated and the 
drum itself measures out the film. To 
insure no overlap of shots you get a 
comfortable spacing width between 
shots. It works! 

Nobody says that the old dog of a 
camera fan will take to this innovation 
as naturally as a duck takes to water. 
Despite all of my entreaties that this 
single-frame is a heck of a lot bigger 
than many double-framer 35s I've 
used, | couldn't stop vast hordes of 
wives, mothers, sisters and present 
non-camera enthusiast males from 
thinking that the Rapide was the cut- 
est, nicest designed, most intelligently 
planned, etc., etc., they'd ever seen. 

Does it take pictures? Oh yes! 
While we wouldn't recommend the 
lens for mural photographs, you can 
make adequately sharp enlargements 
even to 11x14. And projection of 
transparencies to 40x40 in. pleased 
everyone, even if sharpness suffered 
when compared to transparencies 
made with, say, a 35mm Yashica Pen- 
tamatic.—H.K. 





QUICK-LITE: HIGH VOLT 
UNIT WITH BUILT-IN AC 


Manufacturer's specifications: 
Yashica Quick-Lite QL-II electronic 
flash unit. Operation: 270-volt dry 
cell battery handle. Recycling 
time: 4 to 5 sec. Flash duration: 
1/2000 sec. Other features: 30- 
watt-second output; 50° angle of 
coverage; 6000K color temperature; 
built-in ready light, flash calcula- 
tor. Price: $29.95. Importer: Yas- 
hica, Inc., 50-17 Queens Blvd., 
Woodside 77, N. Y. 


Just to prove you can’t keep a good 
idea down, Yashica has come out with 





the Quick-Lite, its version of the small 
electronic flash unit that operates on a 
high-voltage battery-handle (the first 
of these units was the Walz Autoflash 
V, reported in ‘Modern Tests,"’ May 
1961). The Quick-Lite also operates 
off ordinary 110-volt household AC 
but, instead of an accessory AC 
adapter, this unit has an AC converter 
built right into the flash head. All you 
need is the 17-ft. AC cord. 





Into a round socket in the bottom of 
the small, rectangular (234 x 3% -in.) 
flash head you plug the combination 
battery-handle. Then connect the 
whole unit to the camera by means of 
the bracket, flick the switch on the 
right side of the head to “‘DC"’ and 
you have a regular electronic flash. 
On DC the Quick-Lite has the usual 
advantages of the non-rechargeable 
high-voltage type units—fast recycl- 
ing (4 to 5 sec.) and plenty of flashes 
(up to 1000). 

If you want to save the battery 
and can confine your shooting to 
within 17 ft. from an AC outlet, flip 
the switch to “AC,” plug the special 
cord into the receptacle on the left 
side of the flash head (the other end, 
of course, plugs into the wall outlet) 
and you're ready to go. You can leave 
the battery on the unit while operating 
on AC (the whole unit weighs just 22 
oz.). Or, you can take off the battery, 
plug a small adapter into the socket 
and slip this adapter into the camera's 
accessory shoe. As the flash head 
alone weighs 12 oz., this gives you a 
compact, light unit. Warmup and re- 
cycling time on AC is 2 to 3 sec. and, 
of course, the number of flashes is un- 
limited. This can make for some pretty 
swift and extensive picture taking. 

The coiled sync. cord can be 
stretched to 24 in., so it's possible to 
use bounce flash, off AC, by slipping 
the head out of the accessory shoe 
and holding it in one hand, pointed 
in the desired direction. It’s more 


cumbersome, but still possible, to 
bounce flash when using the DC bat- 
tery-handle.

NEVER BEFORE IN HISTORY has there been such a glorious 


T glut of used cameras in every shape and form (and 
condition). If you’ve been holding off from buying 
Ms a [ ai that extra 35mm body, spare 214 reflex or whatever 
else, there’s no time like the present buyer’s market to 

make the plunge. 
AM FRA To see just what top plunge bargains are possible 











Associate Editor David Miller donned his average cam- 
era fan disguise, made the grand tour of a dozen or so 
used camera outlets and came back with what we think 
ere some fabulous buys in cameras which are generally 
available. In the Used Camera Buying Guide section of 
this month’s issue you'll find complete technical descrip- 
tions of all our prizes (except the Argus A and Pentacon 
F). Here we'll tell you just why these are top bargains 
and just how much these cameras were selling for 
where we found them. Then go and hunt yourself.—H.x.

A. PENTACON .£ WITH 35MM F/2 PRESET BIOTAR: The 
original 1950 prism tin lizzy marches on in the form of 
the original eye-level reflex. (At that time it cost $475.) 
The F model MODERN picked up at Willoughby Camera 
Stores Corp., 110 West 32 St., New York 1, N. Y., at $69 
in what appeared to be new condition (save for a mysteri- 
ous missing piece of front leather covering) has the semi- 
automatic diaphragm interior collar which would allow 
you to use it with semi-automatic Praktica lenses and with 
most semi-automatic Pentax lenses as well. The preset 
Biotar (many Biotars are not marked as such because of 
certain importation restrictions, instead are marked with 
a simple B) of course doesn’t hook up to the semi-auto- 
matic diaphragm but you are getting a Biotar and you can 
add semi-automatic lenses later. Warning in buying Penta- 
cons: check all shutter speeds carefully. Test Biotars. The 
unmarked Pentacon presets can vary in quality. If the cam- 
era’s price is still slightly higher than you want to pay, 
look for a Pentacon with the 50mm f/2.8 Tessar. But be- 
ware of the 58mm f/1.9 Primoplan, which is doggy. 


B. CONTAX Ila WITH 50MM F/1.5 SONNAR: Dreamed of 
owning a super-quiet shutter in an almost-new Contax 


with high speed Sonnar fens but shied away from the cost? 
MODERN found one at \!Inredeemed Pledge Sales Co., Inc., 
64 Third Ave., New York 3, N. Y., for $69.50 with a body 
in “‘as new” condition. Some sticky material on the chrome 
and one rangefinder window disappeared nicely after we 
applied liquid lens cleaner. The lens mount lip showed 
some dents and loss of black enamel. These seemed to 
have been caused by a poorly fitting, threaded filter (which 
came with the camera). Although the Ila was recently dis- 
continued, the vast array of accessories and lenses is 
readily available. 


C. VOIGTLANDER PROMINENT WITH 50MM F1/5 NOKTON 
LENS: The 50mm f/1.5 Nokton was justly considered one 
of the finest speed lenses ever made and the Prominent, 
although slightly large, was a rugged, capable leaf-shutter 
rangefinder with a good range-viewfinder. The accessory 
35mm, 100mm and 150mm lenses are also outstanding 
because of the leeway given the lens designer by the over- 
large leaf-shutter aperture on the Prominent. We obtained 
our Prominent from Wall St. Camera Exch., 120 Wall St., 
New York 5, N. Y., for $120 and felt it to be a splendid buy.

MOST PEOPLE would never think of buying a used 8 or 
16mm motion picture projector. But take a quick trip 
through any fair-sized photo shop and you'll see some 
pretty substantial machines selling for somewhat less 
than substantial prices. You won’t find many of the 
newer innovations—automatic threading, built-in edi- 
tors or condenserless optical systems. But that some of 
the machines discontinued as much as 20 or more years 
ago were built along heroic lines is proven by the fact 
that quite a number are still in use. The photo above 
shows a selection of machines we found in photo shops 
—and in the possession of MODERN staffers. One or two 
were only recently discontinued—the Bolex and Bell & 
Howell 8mm machines. However, it’s a good idea to 
check with a local camera repair shop to find out if parts 
are still available for the machine you’re interested in 
should you need them in the future. 





A. AMPRO 16MM OPTICAL SOUND: This machine is 
owned—and ‘still very much operated—by MODERN’s 
Controller, Irving Richter. He vows that the sound quality 
is every bit as good as the day he bought it—sometime 
during the 1930’s. While hardly the most portable 16mm 
machine ever made—the Ampro was built to last. What's 
more it boasted features that still come in mighty handy 
today—a built-in public address system (if you decide you 
don’t want to show 16mm sound movies after all) and a 
self-contained case that literally wraps itself around the 
machine. 

Specifications: 750-watt larnp; 114-in. (semi-wide-angle) 
f/1.6 lens; rheostat controlled fps speeds; cable driven 
reel arms; 1600-ft. reel capacity; on-off, rewind, reverse 
and forward, lamp, pilot light, volume (three), tone con- 
trols; microphone and phono inputs (for public address 
use); separate speaker. Used price range, $135 to $230 
(depending on model). 


B. KODASCOPE MODEL G SILENT 16MM: We landed this 
one after briefly mentioning to Technical Editor, Edward 
Meyers, that we were doing a story on used projectors. 
Meyers persuaded his father to lend us the machine. While 


the machine is somewhat short on lamp wattage—only 
300— its black, shiny metallic finish is indeed impressive. 
More important, it’s another machine that exhibits a real 
craftsmanlike approach to manufacturing. There are no 
rough edges, flimsy parts, and everything works with a 
click of authority. 

Specifications: 300-watt lamp, 2-in. f/1.6 lens; rheostat 
controlled speeds; cable driven reel arms; 400-ft. reel ca- 
pacity; forward, reverse, rewind switch; threading light, 
tilt control, snap lock film guides on sprocket wheels, sin- 
gle frame projection. Used price range, $35 to $50. 


C. AMPRO FUTURIST 8MM: We stumbled over this 
Ampro—literally—in the back storeroom of Olden Camera 
Co., 1265 Broadway, New York 1, New York. It’s still one 
of the lightest 8mm projectors ever made and no chore 
at all to carry about. Threading is quick, simple and safe. 
Specifications: 750-watt lamp; 25mm f/1.6 lens; rheostat 
controlled speeds; single frame; internally geared reel 
arms; 400-ft. reel capacity; single on-off motor and lamp 
switch; forward, reverse and rewind controi; snap-in film 
guides on sprocket drives. Used price range, $85 to $90.

the recycling time between flashes in- 
creases toward the end of the battery's 
life (said to be 1000 flashes) and the 
light output decreases. As with all dry 
cell batteries, storage in a cool, dry 
place when not in use is best. With 
the Quick-Lite you can still use the 
AC while in the process of getting a 
new battery ($9.95). Batteries are 
small (53%, in. long, 1% x 1%) and 
light (10 oz.) enough to carry around 
in pocket or gadget bag if you think 
you'll need a spare. 

The unit handles well during picture 
taking, except for the usual discomfort 
of bounce flashing. With the Quick- 
Lite we tested, we found 25 to be the 
best guide number for Kodachrome.

Other features: Parallel arm sys- 
tem facilitates gross focusing as well 
as changing negative magnifica-

Price: $24.95; 2-in. f/3.5 Accura 
lens $5.95, with illuminated dia- 
phragm, $7.70; enlarger equipped 
for 16mm with carrier and 1-in.

If you were to pore over the pages 
of photography magazines which ap- 
peared 25 years ago, you would find 
a number of enlargers advertised 
which sold anywhere from $5 to $20. 
These were pretty primitive affairs. 

Not so the 35mm Spiratone en- 
larger. This machine's most extraor- 
dinary single feature is that it costs 


just $24.95—the equivalent of the 
prewar $5 or $10—and makes amaz- 
ingly good 11 x 14 enlargements 
from 35mm. We tested this enlarger 
against one of the most precise, ex- 
quisitely made and relatively expen- 
sive 35mm enlargers available today, 
and while you could see the difference 
in the sharpness of prints (made with 
each enlarging lens stopped down to 
f/8) if you examined them closely, 
this difference was not instantaneously 
apparent to the casual glance. 

Our tests made with this enlarger 
and the f/3.5 Accura lens indicated 
that at £/3.5 (widest aperture) illumi- 
nation decreased somewhat at the 
corners of the projected image, but 
such fall-off is common with all but the 
very best enlarging lenses when the 
lens is wide open: when it was stopped 
down to f/5.6-f/8—the standard ap- 
ertures for making prints to ensure 
maximum sharpness—illumination 
seemed perfectly even. The largest 
size print which can be made with this 
enlarger from a 35mm negative pro- 
jected on the baseboard is about 
12x18 in. If larger prints are desired, 
you can of course rotate the lamp- 
house 180° and project onto the floor. 

In addition to using the lens avail- 
able through Spiratone, we did make 
a few tests with a top-notch enlarging 
lens and the results were excellent. 

While we do not recommend this 
enlarger to the experienced worker 
interested in the finest quality prints, it 
is highly recommended for any be- 
ginner or intermediate worker.—P.C.

It's been several years since we 
first tested the Camex Reflex. Basi- 
cally the camera looks the same as it 
did in 1957. But the addition of the 
behind-the-lens semi-automatic elec- 
tric-eye system has added much to its 
already great flexibility. 

The Camex is really part of an 
entire 8mm motion picture system and 
offers one of the widest—if not the 


widest—range of accessories in its. 


field. You can have your choice of 
microscope adapters, giant zoom 
lenses, wide-angle and tele lenses, 
extension tubes, titling stands, etc. 

One reason why it is considered a 
serious movie maker's camera—or for 
the man who can afford the price even 
for casual shooting—is its unique 
through-the-lens focusing system. It's 
the only 8mm with a mirror shutter. 

Here's how it works. There's a 
mirror on the lower half of the shutter. 
When the shutter is closed—with no 
light going to the film—all the light 
coming through the lens strikes the 
mirror. It is reflected to a prism and 
then to a series of viewfinder objec- 
tives and to the viewer's eye. 

When the shutter is open—allow- 
ing light to go to the film—the view- 
finder is blacked out. But since this 
happens at a fairly rapid rate—from 
8 to 32 fps—the slight flickering effect 
is hardly noticeable. Naturally, the 
faster the fps the less flickering. 

The main advantage of the mirror 
system is that when the lens is closed 
down, there's less light loss to the 
finder compared with straight prism 
systems. 

The electric eye reads constantly— 
despite the fact that the shutter is 
closed part of the time. A prism di- 
rects part of the light to the cell. You 
adjust the lens diaphragm until a 
needle is centered in the finder. A 
battery system (two small mercury 
cells) keeps current flowing even when 


light is cut off from the energy-gen- 


erating selenium photoelectric cell. 
Thus the needle remains in correct 
position once the diaphragm is set.

worked well most of the time—provic 
ing good exposure readings for most 
sidelight and other tough light read- 
ing situations. However, with back- 
light, even when the field was 
narrowed by using a tele to take the 
reading as with most automatic and 
semi-automatic electric-eye cameras, 
some loss of shadow detail was noted. 
The meter, even though it’s behind the 
lens, is subject to influence from strong 
light around a backlit scene. 

The behind-the-lens cell is par- 
ticularly useful for shots made with 
extension tubes. The f-number can be 
adjusted direcily from the electric-eye 
reading without any need to become 
involved in compensation factors. 

We found that the camera motor 
did not come to full speed instantly 
when we pressed the shutter release 
button—resulting in slight over-ex- 
posure of the first few frames of a shot. 

Lenses for the Camex have bayonet 
locking mounts. To release the lens 
you push a button at the top of the 
camera. Lens seating is positive and 
lenses can be interchanged rapidly. 

Footage and frame counters proved 
dependable during our tests. 

Tests on this lens and camera 
showed that the 12 %mm f/1.9 Cinor 
was acceptably sharp at f/1.9 with 
some corner fall-off. Sharpness was 
good at f/2.8 with some fall-off. At 
£/8 overall sharpness was excellent. 
Overall sharpness decreased slightly 
at f/16. 

We also tested the 75mm f/3.5 
Berthiot. At £/3.5 the 75mm lens was 
acceptably sharp with some corner 
fall-off. At £/8, £/11, overall sharp-

Some of the finest new cameras are using cadmium 
sulfide for exposure control. It is so sensitive that 
it can operate a signal light under an enlarger image 
without an amplifier! To this we’ve added our 
exclusive variable area mask which gives completely 
calibrated automatic readings for paper exposure, 
paper contrast, and direct density figures. Spot-O-

It’s been at least 11 years since 
Bolex issued a really all-new 8mm 
projector. While the M-8 series of ma- 
chines were admirable, they left some- 
thing to be desired in the way of 
refinements—such as still projection 
and internal power rewind. The 18-5 
has a power rewind and a unique 
5 fps projection speed that allows you 
a longer look at individual scenes. 
The 18-5 bears no resemblance to its 
predecessor. It's lighter, smaller, and 
much more attractive. The M-8 stood 
10% in. high while the 18-5 barely 
reaches 8 12 in. And while the M-8 was 
a fine performer, the 18-5 is definitely 
a better one. 

After you erect the reel arms (both 
are on top of the projector), threading 
the 18-5 is hardly a chore. Film snaps 
into place around the sprocket wheel 
drive and through the gate with hardly 
any fuss at all. 

The Bolex projects normal silent 
footage at 18 fps—the European 
standard. However, we found that film 
shot at 16 fps showed no signs of 
accelerated action. In fact, projection 
at 18 fps seemed to improve the over- 
all image. 

Instead of offering a still projection 
setting the Bolex has a 5 fps speed for 
films shot at normal silent rate. The 
effect is amazingly like slow motion, 
with aniv a slight lack of frame-to- 
frame smooihness. The 5 ips rate is 
made possible by the projector's vari- 
able shutter. A double-bladed attach- 
ment on the shutter divides each of 
the three normal openings into three 
more openings for a total of 9. The 
result is a flashing rate of 45 per sec., 
only three less than at 16 fps—and 
virtually flickerless 5 fps projection. 
(For more information about projector 
shutters see MODERN, October 1961.) 

The new Hi-Fi projection lens is a 
rather amazing performer. We were 
able to project a 9-ft. screen image 
with little significant edge fall-off in 
sharpness or illumination.—M.A.M.

Only this one takes sound. 


Except for the microphone, the 
Fairchild Cinephonic looks like any 
other 8mm movie camera. It works 
like any other, too. With one amaz- 
ing difference. This one takes sound! 

The Fairchild’s entire recording 
mechanism is inside the camera. A 
single button controls both pictures 
and sound—and there’s no outside 
power source to plug into, because 
the Fairchild is battery operated. 
Even hand winding is eliminated. 

To take sound movies, simply give 
the microphone to your subject, or 
place it close by, in the scene. As 
you shoot, sound is recorded “live” 
—automatically synchronized with 
the action right on the film. 






Cinephonic color film comes in 
100 ft. rolls, pre-edged with a per- 
manent ragnetic recording stripe. 
You get superb, lifelike reproduc- 
tion of both pictures and sound. 

The new Fairchild 8mm sound 
camera is priced at $249, including 
13mm f/1.8 Cinphar lens. And you 
get an introductory roli of Cine- 
phonic color film with processing 
absolutely free. 

Most dealers offer attractive 
terms, plus a generous trade-in 
allowance on your old silent camera. 
Come in for a demonstration soon. 
Once you’ve seen how incredibly 
real Fairchild sound movies can be 


‘you'll never settle for ‘silents’ again.

The Bolex people have built an awe- 
inspiring amount of ‘pride of owner- 
ship” into their $S-221 magnetic-opti- 
cal sound projector. It looks slick, pro- 
fessional, functional and efficient. 
Moreover, the various dials, switches, 
and buttons offer promise of great 
flexibility—and deliver it. 

You can show silent or optical 
sound, or record and play back mag- 
netic sound films. There are two differ- 
ent sound film paths. Both magnetic 
and optical sound heads can be by- 
passed for showing silent footage. 
Txe gate sound head spacing—the 
number of frames between the frame 
in the gate and the part passing over 
the sound head—differs very slightly 
from American standard. American 
standard for optical sound is 26 
frames. The Bolex, as it comes from 
the factory, has an optical spacing of 
28 frames. However, Paillard, U. S.

SOUNDTALA 


... from the world’s most experienced manufacturer of magnetic tapes 


How “‘four-track’”’ stereo 


challenges tape quality... 


The dramatic improvement in sound and new econ- 
omy in tape use that four-track stereo promises, 
make new demands on tape . . . make the quality 
you find in “‘Scorcn”’ BRAND Tartan® Series Mag- 
netic Tapes four times as important! For not every 
brand of tape will work satisfactorily on four-track. 


THE NARROWER TRACKS used make highest uni- 
formity of oxide coatings a must. Now even minute 
irregularities can cause distortion or decrease in 
output, which in monaural or two-track recording 
would not be as noticeable. 


FROM THE TAPE MANUFACTURER'S point of view, 
slitting the tape to correct width becomes an ex- 
tremely critical operation. Close-tolerance precision 
characterizes SucTcR® eeanp Tartan Tanes. And 
lack of this precision can rendcr a tape useless for 
four-track. 


THE NUMBER ONE CHOICE of top stereo t 
machine makers is ““Scotcu’”’ BRAND. Unifori 
oxide thickness (as well as tape width) is ’ 
microscopic tolerances to keep dynam’ 
identical throughout each reel, each ty 
reel to reel. High-potency oxides per :

MODERN TESTS 
(Continued from page 144) 


Bolex distributor, can install a smaller 
roller which provides a 27-frame 
spacing. In actual tests we found no 
noticeable loss of lip sync even at the 
28-frame sound spacing. 

The stroboscopic fps control con- 
tributes to the high quality of sound at 
both 16 (magnetic oniy) and 24 fas. 
inere are two strobe lines, one for 
16 and one for 24 fps. When the line 
appears to stand still the projector is 
running at precisely 16 or 24 fps (de- 
pending on selected speed). 

Magnetic spacing is 20 frames— 
as ugainst American i Oi preciice of 
28 frames. However, since few, if any, 
magnetic sound films have lip sync, 
the difference is academic. We found 
that music and commentary sound 
tracks recorded at 28 frames on other 
machines and then shown on the Bolex 
at 20 frames seemed to fall into the 
right place despite the difference. 

Our tests of sound quality showed 
near high fidelity performance at 24 
fps on magnetic. Even at 16 fps, per- 
formance was exceptional. 

Optical sound also proved to be 
amongst the finest—if not the finest— 
we've heard on any 16mm projector. 

One reason. for the excellence of 
the optical sound is the fact that the 
exciter lamp can be mechanically 
centered on the sound track. 

The magnetic recording system of- 
fers several unique features. Separate 
erase and record-playback heads 
make it virtually impossible to acci- 
dentally destroy a sound track. Separ- 
ate volume controls for the inputs and a 
built-in mixer provide a means of re- 
cording two sounds—voice and music, 
for example—at the same time, and 
adding fade-in and fade-out effects 
right on the projector. 

Results of screen image tests proved 
to be excellent, showing no significant 
sharpness or light fall-off at the cor- 
ners of the screen. The S-221 is easily 
adaptable for large auditorium pro- 
jection through the use of various op- 
tional accessories such as a separate 
12-in. speaker (a power distributor 
makes it possible to run both accessory 
and regular speaker at the same time) 
and 35mm f/1.3 lens.—M.A.M.

MODERN TESTS 
(Continued from page 146) 


Bronx River Road, Bronxville, N. Y. 


Here is the often rumored, much 
heralded new standard lens for the 
Exakta from Carl Zeiss of Jena. Im- 
portant changes in the original Biotar 
design in the second and third ele- 
ments, according to the designers not 
only reduce the Biotar focal length by 
8mm but also improve resolution. In 
our tests we found this to be true. The 
Pancolar produced very good sharp- 
ness at f/2 with some fall-off in 
the corners and equally good central 
sharpness at f/5.6 with some corner 
fall-off. At smaller apertures, there 
was a slight decrease in overall sharp- 
ness. Some of the corner sharpness 
fall-off found with this lens. is caused 
by curvature of field. At all but moder- 
ately close focusing distances this 
effect is slight. 

The major improvement, we felt, was 
in sharpness. The Biotar lenses we 
have tested generally equalled the 
Pancolar at f/5.6 but the Pancolar 
proved slightly superior in central and 
edge resolution wide open. 

The lens mount represents a major 
change in Jena Zeiss finishing and 
diaphragm control. Instead of an all- 
chrome mount with built-in lens shade 
and heavily knurled focusing knob, 
the Pancolar has a satin black finish 
and a short-length mount with no built- 
in lens shade. The focusing ring, in- 
stead of being heavily knurled for 
easy grasping, is leather-covered. The 
automatic diaphragm of the Biotar is 
preset—after each exposure you must 
recock the iris to full aperture if you 
want the maximum light for ‘focusing. 
The new diaphragm closes swiftly as 
the pressure on the plunger release 
of the lens mount increases, then 
opens fully after exposure. 

You can preview the depth of field 
by pressing the collar around the 
shutter release. 

With the 58mm Biotar f/2 now sell- 
ing at an appealing $80, we feel that 
the choice between the older and 
newer lenses must be somewhat sub- 
jective—automatic vs. semi, built-in 
sunshade vs. none, 50mm vs. 58mm, 
improvement in performance vs. lower 
price. Incidentally. this Pancclar is 
identical to the Flexon, available on 
the Praktina Ila camera.—H.K.

MODERN TESTS 
(Continued from page 148) 


most 8mm movie projectors. Lens: 
6-element f/2.5 wide-angle. 
Screen size: 32 x 4% in. Price: 
$14.95. Manufacturer: Hudson 
Photographic Industries, Inc., Irv- 
ington-on-Hudson, N. Y. 


The HPI Projector Scope fits into 
your projector lens mount in piace of 
the regular lens and provides a 
3% x 4%-in. viewing image. The six- 
element lens of the Projector Scope 
directs the image at a mirror which 
reflects it to a ground-glass screen. 

The unit fits just about all 8mm pro- 
jectors with the exception of the 
Baskon and Kodak Brownie machines. 
You focus by moving the Scope 
forward or back in the projector lens 


mount as required. 

The lens can be optically aligned 
with the gate and lamp by means of 
two set screws. A movable rod adjusts 
the perpendicular position of the 
Scope. 

Our tests showed that the screen 
image was bright even at the corners 
of the ground glass, even under a high 
level of room light, and we could 
detect no hot spots on the screen. The 
sharpness on the ground-glass screen 
also proved quite satis’actory. As 
many as six people were able to see 
the screen easily, even though some 
of the people in our audience were at 
extreme angles to the projector. The 
best viewing distance was about 2 to 
6 ft. from the screen.—M.A.M.

MOVIE MAKER 


by MYRON A. MATZKIN 


Sound Part Ill: On location sound 
with inexpensive, battery powered 
tape recorders. 


The amateur in 
search of sound 
for his home 
movies has two 
choices: either he 
can record the 
sounds needed or 
buy them already 
recorded on tape 
or records. The 
sound tracks on 
many amateur productions are derived 
from both sources. First, let’s see what 
you can record yourself. 

There’s a great deal of satisfaction 
in capturing “on location” sound that 
matches the image. Field—or loca- 
tion—recording once was an involved, 
complicated and expensive affair for 
the amateur. Professional, self-pow- 
ered tape recorders were the only 
ones available. These cost (and still 
do) as much as $1200. The sound qual- 
ity is excellent. However, the price of 
perfection is too high for average ama- 
teur budgets. Happily, there are today 
several relatively low-priced units, 
selling in the $100-$200 range, which 
are quite capable of delivering accept- 
able results. Power is supplied by in- 
expensive batteries and the machines 
are light enough to be carried easily. 
Both Webcor and Grundig-Majestic 
make such models. For $200-$350 you 
can get more comprehensive machines. 

No matter which unit you buy, if it 
costs less than $200 or so, you should 
plan to buy a better microphone. The 
mikes supplied with inexpensive re- 
corders usually have a frequency re- 
sponse considerably more limited than 
the recorder’s capabilities. While there 
is no point in buying a mike that is 
better than the recorder, you will find 
that a medium-priced mike will give 
you much truer sound fidelity. Also, 
the standard mike may not be quite 
rugged enough to take the beating of 
location recording. 

There are two major types of micro- 
phones that you should know about— 
omnidirectional and cardioid. 

The omnidirectional microphone re- 
cords sound from all directions. It’s 
excellent for recording natural outdoor 
background noises—street traffic, a 
crowd at a bail park. It’s also fine 
for voices when they’re coming from 
many directions, as at a picnic or a 
family group of children and parents 





on your front lawn. Voices within 10 ft. 
of the subject will record acceptably. 

You can capture the sounds of a 
car from inside by simply turning on 
your recorder. 

The cardioid mike has a more direc- 
tional pattern, and is thus more selec- 
tive in its angle of sound acceptance. 
Actually, it has a heart-shaped pickup 
pattern (angle of sound acceptance). 
Rea the instructions accompanying 
the ..ike and. experiment to find the 
best distance and angle te place it from 
the particular sound source. Cardioid 
mikes can be used indoors where they 
cut down on the effect of ambient 
noises (reverberations, and other ex- 
traneous sounds) outside the mike’s 
selective pick-up pattern. While they 
can be used outdoors, some cardioid 
mikes are so sensitive that they tend 
to pick up wind hitting the mike. Also, 
since they are extremely sensitive, 
they may pick up secondary sounds 
which you may barely notice—such as 
a voice coming over a distant loud- 
speaker—as well as the near voice 
which you wish to record. However, 
cardioid mikes are quite effective when 
attempting to exaggerate the sound 
of passing action. For example, motor 
race sounds would fade-in, reach maxi- 
mum volume when the cars are in front 
of the mike and then fade out as the 
cars pass by with a greater change in 
volume than is actually the case. 


When to buy 

Some outdoor sounds may be diffi- 
cult to record. Relatively low intensity 
sounds—the cry of seagulls, for in- 
stance, or the chirping of birds—re- 
quire rather elaborate preparations. 
It might be easier in the long run to 
buy special effects records. 

There are several sources of special 
effects and music designed specifically 
for motion picture work. One record- 
ing may contain a wide variety of 
related sounds—-water lapping against 
the shore, seagulls, wind, and so on. 
In addition, special music has been re- 
corded for fiims to match particular 
moods and editing requirements. While 
there’s no additional fee other than the 
cost of the record for amateur use, 
special licensing fees are required if 
you show your films professionally. 

In addition, there are untold possi- 
bilities to be found in any store selling 
general recordings. But be careful. The 
record company probably won’t have 
any objections if you show your film 
to friends even at a club function (for 
free) but you'll run afoul of copyright 
laws if you accept money.—THE END

MOVIE BARGAINS 
(Continued from page 135) 


D. BOLEX M-8 8MM: Executive Editor 
Burt Keppler is an inveterate home 
movie maker. We managed to persuade 
him to entrust his Bolex with us just 
long enough to have its picture taken. 
The f/1.3 lens (although the projector 
has been replaced with a more modern 
version) is still one of the very fastest 
available on an 8mm machine. 
Specifications: 500-watt lamp; 25mm 
f/1.3 lens; rheostat controlled fps 
speeds; internally driven take-up reel 
arm and cable-drive rewind arm; 400-ft. 
reel capacity; snap-in sprocket wheel 
guides; single frame; start-stop, motor, 
lamp control; tilt and level adjustment; 
provision for use with either tape cou- 
pler or magnetic sound on film unit. 
Used price range, $110 to $115. 


E. BELL & HOWELL MODEL 285 16MM 
OPTICAL SOUND PROJECTOR: This one 
came out of the dark recesses of MOD- 
ERN’s own studio—where it still sees 
constant service. It has a fine lens, de- 
pendable sound amplifier and is light 
enough to tempt MODERN staffers into 
carting it home on any of the various 
commuting lines out of New York City. 
Specifications: 1000-watt lamp; 2-in. 
f/1.6 lens; 16 and 24 fps; reverse; snap- 
in film guides on sprocket drives, 
2000-ft. reel capacity; cable driven, re- 
movable reel arms; threading lamp, tone 
and volume controls; microphone input; 
built-in speaker plus provision for addi- 
tional, larger speaker. Used price range, 
$220 to $250. 


F. BELL & HOWELL REGENT 8MM: 
This one has been in constant operation 
for at least 6 years (along with other 
machines) in MODERN’s studio. Not only 
has it shown innumerable amateur films 
at the office—but gets impressed into 
service for home showings by editorial 
assistants, secretaries, and the man 
next door. So far, it has held up nobly— 
without a single repair. The lens, in- 
cidentally, compares well with some on 
much newer machines. 

Specifications: 500-watt lamp, 25mm 
f/1.6 lens; rheostat controlled fps 
speeds; internally geared reel arms; 400- 
ft. capacity; tilt control; rewind, run 
switch; single frame. Used price range, 
$65 to $85. 


G. AMPRO PRECISION A-8 8MM: An- 
other of Controller Richter’s ancient but 
still sturdy machines. Mr. Richter claims 
to have shown some of the first Koda- 
chrome 8mm film ever marketed on this 
projector. While it looks its age, frame 
rate, motor, lens, and light output are 
definitely up to par. 

Specifications: 500-watt lamp; _1.-in. 
f/1.6 lens; rheostat controlled fps 
speeds; single frame; internally geared 
reel arms; 400-ft. reel capacity; lamp, 
motor, forward and reverse controls; 
snap-in film guides; tilt control. Used 
price range, $70 to $85. 


H. VICTOR ANIMATOPHONE MODEL 
55 16MM OPTICAL SOUND: This is an- 
other machine from the fabulous back 
room of Olden Camera Co. One feature 
is the removable reel arms and another 
is the piggy-back speaker. Actually a 
separate unit in a self-contained case— 


it latches on to the main projector body 
for carrying purposes. Frankly, we think 
it might be a good idea to take along 
a friend and let him carry the speaker. 
Specifications: 1000-watt lamp; 2-in. 
f/1.6 lens; 16 and 24 fps, motor and 
lamp controls; volume lever and tone 
controls; separate speaker in piggy-back 
case. Used price range, $135 we a

STILL CAMERA BARGAINS 
(Continued from page 133) 


D. NIKON $2 WITH 50MM F/1.4 NIK- | 


KOR: The present Nikon SP is certainly 
more desirable. However, we know a 
professional who could afford one but 
prefers the exceptionally clear life-size 
single picture frame and well defined un- 
cluttered rangefinder image of the S2 
discontinued 1955-1958 model. Small 
disadvantages, such as a dual concen- 
tric shutter dial which must be lifted up 
to be set, plus a few slightly less-auto- 
matic-than-the-SP features, are rather 
unimportant. But the Nikkor 50mm 
f/1.4 lens is exactly the same as in the 
present model and the S2 will take all 
the SP or S3 accessory lenses with an 
accessory finder. The practically-brand- 
new S2 we found at Unredeemed Pledge 
Sales Co. was priced at $119.50. 


E. ROLLEIFLEX 4 X 4, WITH 60MM F/3.5 
XENAR: This little 1957 gem, making 12 
Superslide-size shots (1544 x 15%) on 
127 film, met an early unkind death 
through undeserved character assassi- 
nation. It’s a great machine—automatic, 
lovely to look at—and a splendid pic- 
ture taker bound to become a classic. 
Although the used 4 x 4 we uncovered 
at Wall St. Camera was $55, brand new 
4 x 4s with case and flash cost $58.50 
at Montgomery Ward Co. 


F. ROLLEIFLEX AUTOMAT 1949 WITH 
75MM F/3.5 XENAR: The basic Rollei 
design—optics, film transport, parallax- 
correcting focusing mechanism—re- 
main essentially unchanged since 1951 
when this model was discontinued. The 
finder lens on the Rollei we turned up 
at Unredeemed Pledge Sales Co. isn’t 
coated but who cares? At $59.00, it’s a 
fine barga n. 


G. CANON IV WITH 50MM F/1.9 SERE- 
NAR: Many say that the IV series, the 
last of the small-bodied, bottom-loading 
Canons, was the finest of its type ever 
made. That’s a matter of personal pref- 
erence but the three-stage multifocal 
range-viewfinder and the thread which 
accepts threaded Leica and Canon 
lenses make the 1952 model a top 
$59.50 bargain at Unredeemed Pledge 
Sales Co. Since some collapsible f/1.9 
Serenars were more unsharp in the cor- 
ners than others at full aperture, test 
carefully. 


H. KODAK MEDALIST Il WITH 100MM 
F/3.5 EKTAR: Still yearn for the 214 x 
34% pictures on 120 roll film? Profes- 
sionals who have owned Medalist II's 
since their inception in 1952 guard them 
with their lives. The separate split-image 
rangefinder is critically accurate, the 
focusing mount one of the smoothest 
but most rugged double helicals ever 
devised. The lens is splendid and 
the Flash Supermatic leaf shutter has 
speeds from 1 to 1/400 sec. Ours, from 
Wall St. Camera Exch., was $140. 


I. MINOLTA-35 MODEL Ii: This well 
made, interchangeable lens, focal-plane 
shutter, 1958 camera seems half Leica, 
half Canon and accepts all threaded 
Leica and similar lenses. It has speeds 
from 1 to 1/500 sec. With a very fine 
5 element f/2.8 Rokkor lens, fine com- 
bined range-viewfinder it was $19.50 at 
Unredeemed Pledge Sales Co.

STILL CAMERA BARGAINS 
(Continued from page 164) 


J. LEICA Illa: A Leica technician once 
remarked to us that mechanically, the 
1938 Leica Illa represented a pinnacle 
of the E. Leitz art. We think so too. The 
pre-World War II Leica is much smaller 
in overall size than the Leica IIIC, HIF 
and IIIG series and slips easily into 
jacket pocket, yet accepts any and all 
Leica and similar threaded lenses. It 
has an excellently defined rangefinder 
separate from the viewfinder. If you’ve 
ever dreamed of owning a Leica, the 
ila body which cost us but $29 in ex- 
cellent condition at Unredeemed Pledge 
Sales Co. is a good solution. Don’t get it 
with a 50mm Summar lens. Try the 
50mm f/3.5 Elmar ($15.00) or for a 
fast collapsible, the 50mm f/1.9 Sere- 
nar ($25). 


K. IKOFLEX Ila WITH 75MM F/3.5 TES- 
SAR: This fast-focusing, rugged and re- 
liable 214 x 214 twin lens reflex has a 
fine, Fresnel-lens-brightened ground 
glass, a cut down finder area to elimi- 
nate parallax error and completely auto- 
matic operation once you’ve lined up 
the No. 1 on the paper backing in the 
red window. It should have sold better 
before it was discontinued in 1952 but 
it was overshadowed by another top 
ranking German reflex and never got 
its due glory. At $70 (we found ours at 
Wall St. Camera Exch.) it’s a bargain. 


L. ARGUS A WITH 50MM F/4.5 CINTAR: 
Shades of our childhood, here’s the 
grand old rangefinderless camera that 
broke the 35mm camera price barrier 
in 1936 at $12.50. It has a plastic body, 
self-cocking shutter with speeds from 
1 to 1/200 sec. plus B (no sync), plus 
a_ two-point-focusing, f/4.5 lens. It 
makes an excellent beginner’s camera 
and can produce snapshot sized pic- 
tures with speed and simplicity. MOD- 
ERN found an all-green Argus A for 
$3.95 at Unredeemed Pledge Sales Co. 
(Most made were black.) A slightly more 
advanced A model worth looking for 
has a precision focusing mount allowing 
you as close as 15 inches. 


M. KONICA IIIA WITH 50MM F/1.8 HEX- 
ANON: Good rangefinder, fine lens, plus 
perhaps the most accurate bright frame, 
parallax-correcting viewfinder ever de- 
vised make this Konica a desirable cam- 
era. Ours, looking as if a roll of film had 
never been run through, cost $68.50 
at Olden Camera and Lens Co., 1265 
Broadway, New York 1, N. Y. 


N. CONTESSA 35 WITH 45MM F/2.8 
TESSAR: The number of fully enclosed, 
collapsible 35s available has dwindled 
to almost none. One of the neatest ever 
designed was the 1955 Contessa which 
also had a first-class, built-in exposure 
meter. The lens-rangefinder system was 
one of the easiest to use, swiftest focus- 
ing, best secondary image units ever 
designed. For $29.50 at Unredeemed 
Pledge Sales Co. it was a steal. 


O. CONTAFLEX | WITH 50MM F/2.8 
TESSAR: Want a classic leaf-shutter re- 
flex without all the interchangeable- 
lens, built-in-meter, cross-coupied-LVS 
paraphernalia? The Contaflex | (1958) 
has the same good lens, reliable shutter 
and splendid viewing system as the 
newest Contaflex. Ours, found at Wil- 
liam C. Cullen, Inc., 12 Maiden Lane, 
New York 38, cost $59.50.—THE END

HAVE WE 


GONE? 


Editor’s Note: Herewith another in 
the series of lesser known but fascinat- 
ing cameras of yesteryear, written up 
just as it would have been in “Modern 
Tests” when it was new. 





214 x 314 TWIN-LENS REFLEX 
FOLDS, HAS REVOLVING BACK 





Manufacturer’s specifications: Welta 
Superfekta 214 x 314 twin-lens reflex. 
Lens: (taking) 105mm f/3.8 Carl Zeiss 
Jena Tessar focusing to 31% ft., aper- 
tures to f/22; (viewing) 75mm f/3.8 
Weltaskop. Shutter: Compur with speeds 
from 1 to 1/250 sec. plus B and T. Fo- 
cusing: Waist-level ground-glass focus- 
ing on 154 x 214 ground glass with au- 
tomatic vertical and horizontal frames. 
Other features: Revolving back; drop-in 
loading; semi-automatic film counter; 
collapsible bellows body; sportsfinder. 
Manufacturer: Welta Camera Co., Ger- 
many. Price: $150 (approximate). 


Is 214 x 2% the only logical format 
for the twin-lens reflex? Do twin-lens 
reflexes need to be the large rectangular 
boxes they are? Not according to the 
manufacturers of the 1935 Welta Super- 
fekta. They have designed and produced 
a full focusing twin-lens reflex produc- 
ing 8 214 x 314 negatives on 120 film 
roll. Amazingly enough, the camera fits

New Camera-Art-Form Meets Explosive 
Reaction From Critic and Layman Alike! 
How Do You Stand on Bill Brandt’s New Book... 


“PERSPECTIVE OF NUDES” 


Lawrence Durrell says: "Brandt uses the camera as an exten- 
sion of the eye—the eye of a poet; he is to photography 
what a sculptor is to a block of marble." 


Chapman Mortimer says: "Brandt has raised the status of 
his art to the level of other arts. He has shown us how to 
disregard the taboos of second-rate-ism."

con, to this violent new book. You will be vehement in its defense, 
or you will want to tear it to shreds. But you won't fail to recognize 
it as a milestone in the development of art in photography. Order 





YOU BE THE JUDGE! 


A NEW ART-FORM must—by axiom—be prepared for critical reception, with the 
force of acceptance or rejection in exact relation te its degree of deviation. It is not 
surprising, therefore, that the reaction to Bill Brandt’s new book, “PERSPECTIVE 
OF NUDES,” has been explosive. 

Yet, the book has stirred a spectacular force in its critical admiration. Lawrence 
Durrell and Chapman Mortimer head a distinguished contigent of connoisseurs from 
diverse art fields who have acclaimed this work for its poignancy, its power and its 
meaning. Vogue Magazine carried pictures from the book in its August Ist issue. The 
New York Museum of Modern Art will exhibit Brandt’s works from September 25 
to November 12. 

In these surreal studies of the nude, Bill Brandt expresses a philosophy of inter- 
pretative photography that soars far above the conventional camera-images we have 
grown to accept. His nudes inhabit a world of platonic forms. You feel the gnomic 
quality that resides in poetry and sculpture. You observe images and shapes, per- 
spectives of the figure you never recognized before. 

Hailed as the “Matisse of the camera,” Bill Brandt stands alone in his own unique 
artistic medium. All who are part of photography, the photographer in the studio, 
the art director in an advertising agency, the amateur striving to find new expression 
for his creativity—all who are part of photography, whether working in the com- 
mercial field or in the realm of fine paintings will find a stirring experience in the 
pages of “PERSPECTIVE OF NUDES.” It is an inspirational force, a conversation 
piece not to be missed.

HOW FAR 
(Continued from page 168) 


in an overcoat pocket. The secret? It 
folds. Like many popular blind focusing 
roll cameras available, it has a collapsi- 
ble bellows which springs open at the 
touch of a button. 

The viewing system is especially in- 
genious. Since the negative is not square 
it was necessary to devise some mecha- 
nism to allow both horizontal and verti- 
cal pictures to be made. By grasping 
the camera back firmly and twisting it, 
both back and bellows can be revolved 
from the vertical to the horizontal for- 
mat while the camera front remains ver- 
tical. The ground glass does not show 
you a full-sized viewing image as do 
usual 214 x 214 reflexes. By adopting a 
shorter focal length for the viewing lens 
and operating it on a slightly different 
helical thread from the taking lens’, the 
designers have been able to reproduce 
on a masked 214 x 214 ground glass the 
correct proportions of the 244 x 34 
negative. And, as you revolve the yg 
the viewing mask also changes from 
vertical to horizontal. 

The camera’s loading and film ad- 
vance are commendable. The takeup 
and supply film spool chambers swing 
outward from the camera body. You 
just drop the film in place and as you 
close the spool chambers, the spindles 
automatically push inward to hold the 
film. The first picture must be posi- 
tioned in the ruby window on the cam- 
era back. After that you simply line up 
the film counter number in the counter 
window after each shot. 

The camera is beautifully finished in 
nickel silver and leather, is far sturdier 
than you would imagine possible with 
a folding construction. Controls work 
very smoothly. The built-in hood mag- 
nifier is a great help in accurate focus- 
ing. Provision has been made for the 
camera owner to adjust the focus of the 
viewing lens should it become mis- 
matched with that of the taking lens. 

There are many nice touches which 
a casual observer might miss. The 
carrying strap has an extremely ingeni- 
ous but foolproof method of attaching 
to the back of the camera body, yet can 
be used in both the horizontal or verti- 
cal positions.- All controls—shutter 
speeds, aperture, distance, picture num- 
ber—are visible from shooting posi- 
tion. 

In tests the 105mm f/3.8 Tessar 
lens produced acceptable sharpness in 
the center at £/3.8 with some fall-off 
in sharpness at the corners. At f/8 
sharpness at the center was acceptable 
with little sharpness fall-off at the 
edges (less than the fall-off at £/3.8). 
There was no overall decrease in sharp- 
ness at the smaller apertures.—H.K.
